J. Arterburn finds the county court properly denied the mother’s request to change her sons’ surname to her maiden surname. The sons, now in high school, have had contentious relationships with their father, who they have witnessed abusing their mother and his other girlfriends. The father has had inconsistent relationships with the sons since the divorce, which happened when the sons were five and six years old. Though the sons use their mother’s maiden name where allowable and their father’s where legally required, evidence does not show that their substantial welfare requires the name change. Affirmed.
