Getting Started

What Information Will You Need?

Florida Statute 68.07 requires specific information to complete your Petition for Change of Name. Our encrypted online form walks you through everything below, and your attorney reviews it all with you before filing.

Personal Details

Your present name and any former names, your address, your date and place of birth, a list of all places you have lived since birth, your parents’ names, your spouse’s name if you are married, and your children’s names, ages, and addresses if you have children.

Work and Education

Your occupation or profession, your employer’s information if you are employed, a list of your former employers for the past five years, and the schools you have attended with your date of graduation and the degree you received.

Legal History

Your criminal history, if any, and your civil legal history, if any. Disclosing this accurately up front lets your attorney address any complications before the judge reviews your case.

Know Before You File

What Could Prevent Your Name Change?

A Florida judge may deny a request for a name change if the change is sought for a fraudulent, wrongful, or illegal purpose, if you are a prisoner, if you have a criminal history, or if you have unpaid creditor’s judgments.

A criminal history does not automatically mean your name change will be denied. Pinellas Family Lawyer may still be able to assist you in getting your name change granted, but you must speak with an attorney first to determine the additional work needed in your case.

Abigail was so professional and made me feel really at ease during a super stressful time. I’d highly recommend her
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
My marriage dissolution was handled expertly and with care (did I mention addordable?). This military veteran highly recommends this firm for your family law need. I was extremely satisfied with the results.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
It’s already hard enough to have to pick a lawyer for cases you’d rather be able to solve yourself. Then there’s the question of if the lawyer really cares. Rowland Boyd has represented himself and his team as amazing people and some one with my best interest in mind! Easy to talk too, understandable and forward looking.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
Mr. Boyd was professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with family law matters.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
Excellent divorce lawyers. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who understands high net worth divorces.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review!
I previously worked with Pinellas Family Lawyer and had the opportunity to work directly with Kathryn and Abigail on a daily basis. I have a great deal of respect for both of them, not just as attorneys but as people. They care deeply about their clients and approach family law with professionalism, empathy, and integrity. I would confidently recommend either of them to anyone looking for a family law attorney.
Attorney Collier was tremendously helpful and knowledgeable. She definitely saved me extra steps and explained the process thoroughly. Totally recommend.
I had an excellent experience working with Abbey Walters at Pinellas Family Law. She was communicative, professional, and made things feel far less overwhelming during a very stressful situation. She explained things clearly, was organized, and I always felt like she genuinely cared about my case and my peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs family law support in Pinellas County.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words and positive review!
I am so happy I chose Pinellas Family Law to represent me in my case. Abigale Walters made everything smooth and easy. I highly recommend choosing this law firm to represent you in whatever situation you may need legal representation for.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
Attorney Kathryn Collier - Her professionalism, knowledge and dedication to her clients are truly impressive. She took the time to understand my situation and offered valuable advice. I'm grateful for her expertise and appreciate the time she took to assist me. Highly recommend! Thank you
As much as it pains me to admit, I wish I had found Katherine before my ex-husband did. I lost my modification of final judgment, but I can honestly say Katherine handled the case with class, composure, and deep insight. She truly knows her stuff. What stood out most was not just Katherine’s expertise but also the professionalism and support shown by her legal aid, Ashley. Together, they were a steady, reliable team who provided clear guidance and an impressive level of preparation throughout the process. Even though I love my own lawyer, I can say without hesitation that in an alternate universe, I absolutely would have chosen Katherine and her team at Pinellas Family Lawyer. They are truly remarkable advocates.
Great divorce lawyers
So super helpful, Ashley was very helpful and kind when needed information and the firm in a whole is outstanding! Thank you Ashley for all your help
Extremely professional, as well as understanding a will to go in deal if unsure of certain things regarding documents or other things. Ashley explained things in detail an it’s very helpful.
Knowledgeable and experienced attorneys who get the job done with integrity!
Kathryn Collier is my attorney. She has helped me tremendously through a horrible experience. I have a ex that has tried for years to take me down. Causing damage to our children growing up. Never has tried to co parent and everything he does he turns around and makes it look like I’ve done that bad thing and then cries victim. I have reached a level of peace in my life and have a wonderful and amazing relationship with my daughter. She should grow up and be more than just an overnight and a number. She shouldn’t have to choose between her parents. Kathryn helped me choose a path that has made my daughter’s plans to become more independent possible and a parenting plan that works for both parties. she helped me and made sure my nerves were calm and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. She always made sure I was a priority. I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Patient, kind and so smart. She will forever be my go to if needed in the future.
Very healpful and punctual they were able to give me enough answers and covered all the questions of my concerns about my case.
Response from the owner:Glad we could help!
wonderful team of attorneys, would recommend to anyone needing a family lawyer.
Kathryn was very helpful during my consultation call!
