I have a debate with my supervisor.  She thinks a customer can make her last name before marriage her middle name by the means of only filling out her marriage license with this new middle name or addition the her middle name (now has two middle names) Is that a legal name change?

Doesn't sound right.\nI think you have to go to the office of vital statistics and change your social security card to that of your married name you put on the ceritficate.\nCall the office of Vital Statistics in your area or local courthouse. Usually the middle name is dropped and maiden becomes your middle unless you prefer to keep your middle and drop your maiden.

no change is required, she said it herself. and as far as your ex being on the deed will be a problem in time, what if something would happen? does your ex have any rights to her 1/2? look into just changing your names on the deed, the courts may be a help full tool with this, or maybe it already has, did the judge have a ruling on this during your divorce? and if so did you do anything? just trying to keep you out of the doghouse down the road. good luck with the new family.

Hi there! In Brazil is kind of similar then. The middle name comes from the mother's side and the last name comes from the father's. At the end, the father's name prevails anyways... since my baby would have my last name as his middle name and my husband's last name as his last name. Confusing, but if sort of looks like this:\nSay we have a couple: \nFernando Almeida da Silva and Luiza Ferreira Braz.\nTheir baby will call: Gabriel Braz da Silva

Shouldn't. I lived with my husband for almost 2 yrs. before we got married. Only thing that's changed is I carriy his name. We just celebrated our 30th anniversary 6/4. The only thing different is a piece of paper! Why should that change a damn thing? However you do have to work at a marriage it's not easy and some people aren't willing to do the work. Other than that I don't know what else to tell you!

They are NOT allowed to do this. This is a part of the Privacy Act. I used to work at a bank and any time that we had to call a customer, we could only say the individuals name and to return our call. We couldn't talk to the spouse unless they are on the account - even at that, if they are on the account, we can't talk to the spouse because there is no way to verify they are indeed the individual they claim to be.

My wife has such a name and a nick name.She will use the nick name If it makes it easier for people to say correctly.I believe it is OK to correct someone once or twice depending on the situation.In a business environment you will have to decide on that as a sales agent it is good to be easy going you want something from them be easy. As a manager speaking to subordinates you will want proper use of your name or nick name, so it depends on the situation

People change their names all the time - it is not at all unusual.\n\nYou may not do so in order to commit fraud or to evade an obligation - otherwise, the only restraints are the judge's willingness to grant your request.\n\nYou are probably best off with a lawyer who handles "family law." You can find one online by visiting the free lawyer-locater at   martindale.com, click on your city, click on "family law", and start calling lawyers. It is perfectly okay to ask the lawyer up front what her charge is and what the court fees would be.\n\nGood luck

Adams would be part of your last name, if anything, however for forms it may be best used in the middle name slot. A maiden name is your last name before marriage, which means your mother's maiden name is Adams and her last name is Hall. Some cultures, though, do use the mother's maiden name as the American middle name, since many cultures do no regularly subscribe to the middle-name standard. For the best results you're probably best off using Hall as your last name and Adams as your middle name to bette assimilate with database standards.

as you said in your question, you would just change it from one to the other, legally of course at the courthouse, \n\nhowever if your looking for a literal translation there is none for english names, those words did not exist in our history.

Maybe you could go before a judge and do a legal name change.  This sounds complicated.  If you are lucky, someone with a law degree can answer this for you on yahoo answers.

well, as long as you don;t use a credit card or social security in that persons name i don't think they can get youfor anything.  if you;re just changing your name to hide from someone or start over or something else, i think you're fine.  it's when someone takes someone elses name or creates a name to charge up credit and obandon it that the person actually breaks a law.  i think you could call yourself joe blow and get away with it, everyone's alllowed to change their identity and start over!  good luck!!!!

Marriage is a public records.  So your license is posted on the web.  Just like birth records and other sensitive data.  Oh well, people can just go to the court house pull this information anyways.

Law depends on the state. Call the probate judge's office (wherever marriage licenses are issued in your county) and ask anonymously. If they say "we cant give legal advice" go down there and make friends with somebody and say "I'm not asking for legal advice just the forms" p.s. why do you want to marry  someone so dishonest?

the only thing that matters is the registered marriage. the ceremony is only fluff for the sake of tradition. if you had a ceremony but didn't get a license, then you are NOT married in the eyes of the law. Most people do both - but some get the license and don't bother with a wedding ceremony - they are totally and completely married.

It can be done immediately by common law. There is a common law procedure for changing your name. In order to utilize this process you should notify all agencies and institutions in writing that your name is changed. This includes Social Security, university registration, driver's license and car registration, bank accounts, credit cards, leases, employment records, etc. You may have to pay a fee for some of these changes. You also may run into a hassle with some places who won't process the change without court papers, even though you are not legally required to go through that process. If this happens, you may appeal the decision of the administrative agent within that agency, or you may change your name in court.\n\nChanging one's name in court through ASUO Legal Services is a simple process which takes approximately six weeks. This may take longer and depends on the office workload, schedule, and the attorney's schedule. One may use almost any name one wishes; however, many people desire to take a new legal name.\n\nhttp://www.uoregon.edu/~legal/namechanges.html\n\ns

Write up a court petition and file it with the court,\nThe judge will have a short hearing, sign it and you have a new name.
