Hey this is indeed a very good thing.  We have to pay almost $300 and something dollars here in Utopia. ;D

Here in California, it is $360 just to file with the court, then there is the ad in the paper, and extra copies after approved, and a lawyer if you want one.

Wow, and I thought the $147 I had to pay for my name change was bad. (Newspaper ads only cost me $15 altogether.)
