STEP-PARENT ADOPTION
A step-parent adoption in Florida can be a fairly simple process, and it can be a wonderful step to take to complete the family unit. When the adoption is completed, the child will have the following benefits:
• New name is established (if desired)
• New birth certificate
• Two legal parents active in the child’s life
• Ability to inherit from adoptive parent
The child will have a relationship with the adoptive parent that is the same as if the child were born to the step-parent. The child’s new birth certificate will show the child’s new name and will have the adoptive parent and the natural parent listed as the child’s mother and father.

NAME CHANGES IN FL
Many people wish to change their names, or the name of their minor child, in order to get a new start in life. Florida law governs the procedures by which a person’s name can be changed in the state of Florida. The Office of the Prothonotary in your county of residence is where you will submit the documents necessary to change your name. There are different procedures to follow, depending on the reason for changing your name and whether it involves an adult or a minor child. It is up to the Court whether to order a name change after a Hearing before a Judge.
