What is the legal prosses for changing your name?

Answer:
I- HIRE A LAWYERR. 2 THE LAWS ARE THEY GO BACK FROM DAY ONE- CHECK YOUR RECORDS AGAINST ANY FELONY CONVICTIONS,(IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY PREVIOUS FELONIES FORGET THE NAME CHANGE) AND IF YOUR ARE OUT ON BAIL OR HAVE ANY, THING TOO DO WITH APPEARING IN THE COURT SYSTEMS IN THIS COUNTRY FORGET THE NAME CHANGE. ALSO TOO AVOIDD BILL COLLECTORS THE LAWYER DOES A CREDIT CHECK THING ON YOU OR ANY KINDS OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS ETC. ITS ALL AT A COST OF AROUND 250.00 PLUS RETAINING THE LAWYERR FEESETC.. THEN YOU WILL GO IN FRONT OF A NOTARY REPUBLICC, TOO SWEAR THAT YOU HAVE NO PREVIOUS FEONIES ON YOUR RECORDS. OUNCE YOU CLEAR YOU GO IN FRONT OF A JUDGE AND TELL YOUR SIDE AS TO WHY YOU WANT THE NAME CHANGE, THEN ITS UP TO A JUDGE TOO DECIDE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.
