Enforcing Name Change Kentucky
Summary
In Kentucky, to enforce a name change from a divorce decree, file a Motion to Enforce Judgment with the family court. The court will review the motion and may issue an order to enforce the name change. For changing a childs last name when the husband is not the father, file a petition for a name change, obtain consent from both biological parents, and attend a court hearing. If consent is not possible, demonstrate to the court why the change is in the childs best interest. Evidence such as proof of paternity and relevant documents may be required.
