Change of Name or Gender 

1.         PETITION OF ROBERT TYLER

            25CV07586

TENTATIVE RULING: No Appearance is Required. The Court finds that Petitioner Robert Vincent Tyler has complied with all prerequisites outlined under California Code of Civil procedure (“C.C.P.”) §1277.5 for a Petition for Change of Name. The Court does note that Petitioner was unable to serve the other biological parent. However, the Court also finds good cause Petitioner’s declaration to excuse this requirement given the effort undertake to locate the other biological parent. Petitioner also did post the Petition in a prominent publication with the intent of providing further notice to the biological parent. The Court finds that no timely objection has been filed against said Petition. Therefore, the Court now GRANTS the Petitioner’s Decree Changing Name of “Aurora Kailee Autrey-Tyler” to “Aurora Kailee Tyler”.
