How can I legally change my name?
Answers:
Hire a lawyer, file a petition in court, and wait for a court date to appear.
Search for "name change" followed by your state... Most courts have the proper forms and procedures available online these days. The other option is to call up your local court house and ask them what to do, they will be able to help you.
Generally you need to file a petition to change your name, post a notice in the paper for x number of days, testify to the judge to receive the order changing your name (this could be in writing or in person depending on your state.) You do not always need a lawyer to do this.
