Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 14 April 2011 This query is : Resolved 
The wife has got divorce on compromise pursis from the Family Court. Wife has relinquished her right to maintenance but kept the custody of the child. Husband relinquished visitation rights in lieu of FD of Rs. 8 lac for the son.
1. Now the wife wants to get her second name changed and wants to use her father's name.
2. Wants to remove her son's father's name and wants to use her own name in the documents. The son is 7 years old.

What is the procedure?

Dear all,

The divorcee mother approached the school authority. They agreed to replkace father's name by mother's name in the school records. The son will get LC in mother's name as second name instead of father. The point is, whether she can add her name and remove father's name by a process of law?
