The 41-year-old, who was born Chastity Sun Bono, now wants to be known as Chaz Salvatore, according to a petition filed earlier this week.
He revealed last June he had undergone the surgery calling it "the best decision I've ever made".
At the time, Cher promised to support her child on his "difficult journey".
"Although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding," said the singer, who had Chastity with her first husband, the late Sonny Bono, in 1969.
A hearing has been scheduled for 6 May in Santa Monica, California.

Out of all the names you could pick, why "Chaz Salvatore"?
Chaz from his birth name, Chastity (I presume). Salvatore is Sonny Bono's original given name.
i'm confused is he that wants to be a she or a she that wants to be a he
the way this story is written is that he wants to have his gender changed
You could use a gender nuetral word like Zir to unpack this article but as he identifies as a he and has had a sex change then its safe to say he is a he :)
