Child Arrangement Order - has a name mistake on it

[sweetpoato]

Hoping that someone on this fabulous site can advise!

Whilst gaining together various documents for a holiday and checking spellings of names etc., I have noticed that my partner's daughter has a hyphen in on his children access arrangement court order but, it's not on any of the other information that I have. We are due to get the passports for the daughter soon so I can double check and my partner has applied for the birth certificates anyway to sort out a savings account for them.

My question is does it impact on the court order if the hyphen isn't actually legally in her name, if you see what I mean?

Thanks so much.

Ask the relevant family court staff; but my educated guess is as this a family law/ court issue, I would say no, as the name is still correct. Some surnames are double-barrelled but not using a hyphen is more likely to mean a grammar error than a name error.

No, it doesn't ( or at least didn't matter )

Passport office was the hardest to sort out but the staff there was very helpfull
