Key Name Change Laws Impacting Adults in Idaho
In Idaho, a legal adult who has good cause to change their name may do so. However, they must file a petition for name change in Idaho with the court whose jurisdiction they reside.
Essential Components of a Name Change Petition in Idaho
- current name
- residence
- place of birth
- proposed new name
- reasoning behind changing the current name
After filing the petition and the fee for a name change in Idaho, the court will set up a hearing at least 6 weeks after the date of filing. Additionally, the court will issue a notice of the hearing that the petitioner must publish in local publications at least once a week for 4 weeks.
If there are no objections filed concerning the name change, the court will proceed with the hearing. This is usually an informal process where a judge will hear any objections and determine whether to grant the name change or not.
If the court agrees to legally change the petitioner’s name, the judge will sign the order and the name is changed.

"It was a pleasure working with her!"
Going into the divorce process I knew I wanted someone knowledgeable and willing to fight for what was best for me. Katelynn exceeded my expectations. She not only listened with compassion, she answered all my questions with patience. She stood behind me, but made it clear that it was up to me to decide how I wanted to proceed. She was very approachable and followed up clearly. It was a pleasure working with her!- Former Client -

"Katelyn is a true champion!"
Katelyn is a true champion! She handled my case with high importance and expertise! She made sure to walk me through the process from start to finish. She responded in a timely manner when I had questions or concerns. She made sure I was never left in the dark when a new development happened in my case. She also has a great sense of humor making it easy to connect with her on a personal level! I highly recommend everyone contact her first when having any family law concerns!- Marissa W. -
"This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!"
How can I begin?
This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!
Katelynn was honest, upfront, and professional in every aspect of the work she did for my divorce case. We had a great relationship and got along great, which is something that I was looking for, a Lawyer that wasn't here for the money but here to work for YOU! The nice thing about Katelynn compared to other lawyers in the area is that she won't take too many cases she can't handle, she doesn't have an Assistant do all the work, she does the a lot of the work herself.
I was lucky that my divorce was handled in mediation (thank goodness). But I heard and listened to Katelynn in the Court room during Trial and she is a not only professional, but confident, courteous, and POWERFUL. She definitely knows what she is doing when it comes to Family Law in Idaho, she even struck down multiple objections from my Ex because the other Lawyer didn't know what they were doing and weren't informed. She is here to fight for you in what she knows you can get, and won't promise or say what she isn't confident in.
I was confident with Katelynn, and you should be as well, don't look ANYWHERE else. Thank you so much Katelynn!- Zach B.
