Supreme Court of Iowa August 25, 1993, 92-761 (Quirk v. Edwards)

NEUMAN, Justice.

This is an appeal from a decree changing the name of the parties’ minor child from the mother’s maiden name to the father’s surname. We conclude that because the change was ordered over the mother’s objection, the court contravened the express provision of Iowa Code section 674.6 (1991) which requires the consent of both parents. Accordingly, we reverse.
