In re Oregon
Deana Marie Arellano (mother) filed an order to show cause to change her daughters surname from her maiden name, Oregon, to her married name, Arellano. Lee Raymundo (father) objected and requested a hyphenated surname. The trial court granted mothers request. Father appeals and raises the following claims: there was insufficient evidence to support the trial courts findings; the court failed to provide a full hearing and make the appropriate finding; and the court erred in making a ruling in the absence of fathers attorney. Father also argues that the court erred in denying his motion to vacate the order.
Court conclude that the court held an adequate hearing, considered fathers previously lodged objection, afforded father ample time to seek alternative relief, and arrived at its conclusion based on substantial evidence. The court properly granted mothers request and denied fathers motion to vacate the order. Court affirm.
