I guess I've been living under a rock or something, but I just found out that my ex-wife still uses my last name. I just kind of assumed that with a divorce decree, she could just switch back to her maiden name.

How much to file & what's the procedure? I know she can't afford it so I might pay for it for her.

Same procedure she went through to get your name in the first place.

SS office, drivers license, a bunch of other places.

Do you two have kids?

Maybe she wants to keep the name because of them.

Or maybe it's just to piss you off.

I think she could have asked for a name change before the final decree. BUT, it's a pain in the arse to do. Think of all the things you need to change: D/L, credit cards, utility bills, bank accounts, car title, etc.

She still loves you. I think the two of you should sit down and talk.

Maybe; I dunno.

She just had that kid with what's-his-name. She's listed as a full-time student & he's listed as unemployed.

Go to courthouse, get a copy of some that were approved by court, do the same. If you have some brains, you shouldn't need a lawyer.

Come to think of it, that might be the easiest way.

You could always change it back. I bet she'd be pissed.
