So...I printed forms for legal name changing. I have no idea how to present it to my mom, and I really want this done because it's practically mental torture seeing my birth name places. I'm ready for this though. I have a feeling my mom might say yes, but she'll say no to how much money it'll cost. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about setting a plan up for the money, or how much it costs to put it in the papers. I was also wondering how I can present it to my mom. I'm just afraid we'll get into an argument and fight. I've read up on name changes, but it would help if someone can give me all the details they can on it.
I have a friend who asked people to sponsor her for her name change. I don't know if borrowing is an option for you but if you have people who don't mind being paid back slowly in installments then that might be an option.
