Case Synopsis
In an opinion drafted by Justice Hardesty, the Nevada Supreme Court considered whether a district court must provide reasons for denying an adult name change petition. In adopting a new standard, the Court found that a district court must provide substantial and principled reasons for denying an adult name-change petition. The Court held that the district court abused its discretion when it denied appellant Salazar’s name change petition without explanation.
