The Nebraska Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children is a legal document that is used to request the court to change the name of a minor child or children. The petition must be signed by an adult who has legal custody of the minor child or children. The petition must include the full name of the child or children, the proposed new name, the reason for the name change, and the address of the child or children. There are two types of Nebraska Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children: 1) A Joint Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children, and 2) An Individual Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children. A Joint Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children is a petition signed by both parents of the minor child or children, and must include the consent of both parents. An Individual Petition for Name Change of a Minor Child or Children is a petition signed by only one parent of the minor child or children, and must include the consent of the other parent, if the other parent is alive and can be located.
