McCORMACK, J.
NATURE OF CASE
Jessie M. Watts, mother of Hunter Wade Slingsby, filed a petition seeking to change Slingsby's surname from Slingsby, Watts' maiden name, to her married name, Watts. Slingsby's biological father, Devin W. Oxford, intervened in the action and filed an objection to the name change. The district court found that Watts failed to meet her burden of proof and denied the requested name change. We affirm.
