I recently got divorce. The divorce papers that I signed states that I would like to change my name back to my maiden name, however, at that time I was distraught and under a lot of stress. The divorce has been finalized.

I have changed my mind about changing my last name because I don't want the hassle of changing it and because it's much easier to pronouce than my maiden name.

I want to know what the legal implications are if I don't change my last name (ie. SSN, Driver's License, etc).



Thank you

Talk to your attorney, but I don't think that you HAVE to change it back... just if you want to that the option is there. But then never changed mine back so no idea. Good luck

You need to refer legal questions to a licensed attorney...member of the bar in good standing. Giving legal advice here in the forum could get us in jail and heavily fined.

I think I know the answer to this but THINKING and KNOWING is the difference between a guy who's watched a lot of Court TV and a guy who's graduated from law school and passed the bar.
