Tentative Ruling The Court GRANTS Petitioner’s Petition to change the name of her minor daughter. Analysis The Petition appears properly filled out and otherwise sufficient. On July 8, 2024, Petitioner filed proof of publication of the Court’s Order to Show Cause in the Thousand Oaks Acorn, as required by Code of Civil Procedure §1277(a)(2)(B) and the Court's May 28, 2024 OSC. Family Code §8617 provides, in pertinent part, as follows: 2024CUPT025170: IN THE MATTER OF KAORI ARIEL KNUCKLES “(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the existing parent or parents of an adopted child are, from the time of the adoption, relieved of all parental duties towards, and all responsibility for, the adopted child, and have no right over the child. In the absence of any evidence indicating that both Kaori’s biological parents and Petitioner waived the termination of the biological parents rights/obligations upon adoption pursuant to §8617(b), the Court finds that Petitioner was not required to serve Kaori’s biological parents with a copy of the Order to Show Cause, and so grants the petition.
