When seeking a name change for a minor, one or both of the minor's parents usually files the petition. If only one parent is filing on behalf of the minor, the other parent's consent is often required. Complications may arise if the noncustodial parent cannot be located, is incarcerated, or lives out of town.
Howland Island seen from space. Orthographic projection centered over Howland Island. Howland Island (pron.: / Ë h aÊ l É n d /) is an uninhabited coral island located just north of the equator in the central Pacific Ocean, about 1,700 nautical miles (3,100 km) southwest of Honolulu. The island lies almost halfway between Hawaii and Australia and is an unincorporated, unorganized territory of the United States.
CBS later noticed Howland on stage in the 1970 production of Company and brought her to Hollywood for a bit part on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Small roles on The Love Boat and Little House on the Prairie followed before she was cast as Vera Louise Gorman on Alice, a comedy set in an Arizona greasy spoon diner based on the 1974 Martin Scorcese film, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
