Supreme Court of Alaska.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gustavo Acevedo, pro se, Bethel.

Christopher R. Cooke, Hedland, Brennan, Heideman & Cooke, Bethel, for Appellee.

Before MATTHEWS, Chief Justice, COMPTON, EASTAUGH, FABE, and BRYNER, Justices.


OPINION

MATTHEWS, Chief Justice.

The question presented is whether the trial court should have enjoined a divorced mother from changing the surname of her child without following statutory change of name standards. In accordance with the weight of authority in other jurisdictions we conclude that the statute should be followed and that the mother should be enjoined from informally changing the child's name.
