Remove need for consent of all parents to change a child's name

Petition Details

Help families where a child holds the burden of a name that they don't want. It's not fair that if you don't have the consent of both parents with parental responsibility you need a court order to change the name of a child, especially in cases where one parent has abandoned or abused a child.

Additional Information

We want the Government to remove the need for consent of all parents to change a child's name, so that a parent who lives with their child can change the name of their child to their own name or their step parent's name, without needing the consent of an absent or abusive parent.
