Title: Judge misspelled my name
Post by: ZeldaHeart on February 28, 2013, 11:04:37 PM
So, I finally got my name changed earlier this week and the judge was super nice!  However, when I got the court order in the mail, the judge had misspelled my new middle name.  What should I do?  I was so excited to go out and get everything changed on Friday or Monday.  :(

Take it back to the court clerk.

Did the judge have you proof-read it before it was signed?

You will have to contact the court.  If it was spelled right on the application, then the judge was at fault.
