Full question:
I am asking about changing our family last name. When I married my husband, my husband's last name was Sin. My husband and I are both Korean. Actually his Korean last name is Shin but, when he came to USA, Korean travel agency made a mistake his Korean passport last name.(sin) Anyway, we are now using the last name 'Sin'. However, we have three little school age child, so last name 'Sin' means not a good means. So, We would like to add a letter 'h' of our last name from sin to Shin. Is it possible reason we are trying to do ?

Answer:
Obtaining a name change for a family of adults and minors in New Jersey involves petitioning the Superior court with a valid reason to make the change for each adult and each minor. It is not a group application. The court must find that there is no reasonable objection to the change of name. The requested name change must also be consistent with the public interest. A person is not allowed to change their name in order to avoid judgments or legal actions against him or her, or to avoid debts and obligations. A person can not change their name to defraud any person.
