Name - Change Of, For Infant

Whenever an infant has resided in the family of any person for three years and has been known as an adopted child in such family, the person having such infant in his family may file a petition in the circuit court of the county, wherein he resides, asking that the name be changed. If there appears no reason why the petition should not be granted, the court may direct that the name be changed.
