*** EFFECTIVE APRIL 13, 2026, THIS DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED TO THE TANI G. CANTIL-SAKAUYE COURTHOUSE LOCATED AT 500 G STREET IN SACRAMENTO, CA 95814. ALL HEARINGS NOTICED FOR DEPARTMENT 25 WILL BE HEARD IN DEPARTMENT 8D OF THE NEW COURTHOUSE. ***

TENTATIVE RULING:

The Petition for minor’s name change is CONTINUED to October 28, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in this department.

The Petition is signed only by minor’s mother. As a result, it is not clear if the minor’s father consents to the name change. The matter is continued to allow the minor’s father to file a declaration affirming his consent to the name change.

If the father does not provide express consent, then the matter is continued to allow Petitioner time to file a proof of service showing service of the Order to Show Cause on the minor’s father by personal service at least 30 days before the October 28, 2026 hearing date. (Code Civ. Proc. §1277, subd. (a)(4).) Petitioner shall also shall serve a copy of this Order, reflecting the new hearing date, on the minor’s father at least 30 days before the October 28, 2026. Petitioner shall file proof of service of these documents no later than October 14, 2026.

The Court shall not require that Petitioner republish in a newspaper of general circulation the OSC hearing date. Because the public was previously given notice of the hearing, no further proof of publication shall be required for the required name change.

This minute order is effective immediately. No formal order or other notice is required. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1019.5; Cal. Rules Court, rule 3.1312.)
