Answer:
The answer will depend on how full the caseload is at the particular court where you file. We suggest you call the clerk of courts at the Family Court for the appropriate Circuit in which the Petitioner resides to inquire about time frames, as they vary by court. Generally, a hearing will be scheduled after the petition is filed. At the hearing, if the court finds a name change is not against the public interest, the name change order will be granted. How soon a hearing can be scheduled depends on how busy the particular court and judge are.
