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.

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.

My mom still has my dad's last name and they've been divorced 15 years.

It was extremely easy for my wife to get her name changed when we got married. Don't know why it would be Amy different after.

File a petition and give reasons and serve the DA. Depending on the parish, filing fees will be a few hundred dollars. An attorney should not charge more then a few hundred bucks or you can do it pro se. Many clerks of court have pre-printed forms for this purpose.
