New Hampshire Supreme Court Allows Name Changes at Will
The court overruled three judges and two masters saying a person may change their name unless done for fraudulent or wrongful purposes. Barbara Moscowitz and Christine Bolduc can proceed with maiden or chosen names, with the lower court to rule or justify denial. The ruling cites common law and statutes permitting name changes upon good and sufficient reasons. The decision emphasizes child welfare in custody matters but does not automatically block name changes due to children.
