I am currently undergoing divorce (HMOP) and sole custody (GWOP) proceedings in India, being an Indian citizen parent. My minor child is a U.S. citizen. Once I get the sole custody order in the GWOP case, what steps do I need to take to change my child’s last name in India (as per the child’s request)?
Once you receive sole custody through the GWOP case, you can apply to change your child’s surname in India by filing an affidavit, publishing the change in the Gazette of India, and updating the school and passport records. As you are the legal guardian, you can legally process the name change without the other parent’s consent. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
