MEDIATION

Missouri allows a person to change his or her name by Statute. Chapter 527.270 of the revised statutes of Missouri states:

Hereafter every person desiring to change his or her name may present a petition to that effect, verified by affidavit, to the circuit court in the county of the petitioner's residence, which petition shall set forth the petitioner's full name, the new name desired, and a concise statement of the reason for such desired change; and it shall be the duty of the judge of such court to order such change to be made, and spread upon the records of the court, in proper form, if such judge is satisfied that the desired change would be proper and not detrimental to the interests of any other person. (RS Mo 1939 ? 1706)

The firm offers the name change service for a flat rate which will includes preparation of all necessary paperwork, court appearance, the filing fee and publication costs.
