Petition for Change of Name
CASE NUMBER: 26CV-0210015 Tentative Ruling on Petition for Change of Name: Petitioner Michelle Furtado seeks to change the name of her minor son. Proof of publication is on file. However, when a petition to change the name of a minor is brought by one parent only, the nonconsenting parent must be personally served with the notice of hearing or order to show cause at least 30 days before the hearing date. See CCP § 1277(a)(4). In the alternative to personal service, the Court may order notice be given in another manner the Court determines is reasonably calculated to give actual notice to the non-consenting parent.
CCP § 1277(a)(4). No proof of service is on file. This matter is continued to Monday, July 20, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 64. Petitioner shall file an Amended Order to Show Cause (“Amended OSC”) for the continued hearing date. The Amended OSC must be personally served on the father at least 30 days before the continued hearing date. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
