Family Law Fact: Changing a child's surname

Names are central to our identity and how we construct a sense of self, both on an individual level and in terms of how we relate to our families and the wider world. They affect how we are seen and how we see ourselves.

The definition of a surname as a hereditary name common to all members of a family offers further insight into why wanting to change it can form such an emotive issue. If a surname has passed seamlessly down generations, changing it could be seen to create distance between a child and their extended family, as well as between the extended family and generations yet to come.

However, the change of a surname can also be seen to reinforce family ties, should the mother revert back to her maiden name following a divorce and wish to maintain the nominal link between the child and their maternal family.

The Family Courts recognise this significance of a childs name to their identity, and as such will not allow parents to change it a whim. The courts primary aim is, however, to avoid the childs name becoming a battleground and, as set out below, it is the child in question who must benefit from the change in name, with the interests of the wider family kept only as a secondary consideration.
