Did you know? In California, either parent can request to legally change a child’s last name—but it requires court approval and sometimes both parents’ consent.

This often comes up during adoption, custody disputes, or when a parent wants to establish or reaffirm a deeper bond. The court's focus? Always the best interests of the child—not just what the parents want.

At FADEM, we’ve guided countless families through name changes as part of broader legal transitions like second-parent adoption, custody agreements, or divorce.

Have questions about changing a child’s name or updating legal documents? We’re here to help.

While temporary support can follow local guideline calculators, permanent or long-term spousal support is where things get nuanced — judges consider over a dozen factors like the length of the marriage, each party’s earning capacity, and even the standard of living during the relationship.

⚖️ What’s more? Judges have broad discretion. That’s why skilled legal guidance matters.

At BJ Fadem & Associates, we help you understand your rights, and protect your future.

Thinking about separation or divorce? Let’s talk.
