You can legally do that. But it may upset your husband. If it is too long, you can just kept your name as is...Just start signing your name to documents with a shorter name. I use to work in customer service for years, people used credit cards with had their nickname on them. Although they didn't legally change their name.\n\nI use my middle name with my first name all the time. On your license they can use a middle initial instead of the whole name. Their are ways around the long name, without the hassle of legal fees/procedure and upsetting your husband.

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.

you will want to check with the Immigration rules on this one but i am sure you are good to go . as long as husband and wife's name is on the birth certificate your OK  but I'd still get professional advice even ask a lawyer won't hurt better to be safe then sorry ..wish you all the luck

You cannot get it changed. You had nine months from separation to get it changed. If you commited acts of misconduct then they are not going to change that for you.\nFor the most part you are screwed unless you dad or uncle is a Congressmen

No. You get divorced wherever you live now and, if you and your spouse are in different states, you can usually file where your spouse is or where you are. It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in how many states you got married (as long as it's to the same spouse, LOL). You're married.

nope. it is perfectly OK to keep your maiden name if you wish. you can also hyphenate if you like. keeping your maiden name just means that you don't have to change all of your legal stuff(license, credit cards etc...) to your married name

No, step-cousins are pretty far removed anyway, and they definately arent related to you by blood.  The only real problem could be that the family may not like it.  And people might assume you are from Kentucky if you said it too loudly (and if they didnt catch the step part of it)

Just go. Let him be the one to do the legal thing. My husband's ex-wife did it (new husband in military) and they moved to Hawaii (we live in Louisiana). We have not seen my husband's daughter in almost 3 years because they transferred again and we've no idea where they are.

I've had my last name all my life, it's not fair that he gets to keep his last name and I have to change mine. We're not going to have kids, so it's not like we'd have problems with their last names. My last name represents my roots, my people, my heritage and I'm not going to erase it.

If you move your new spouse into your home you don't need to do anything.  If you're buying a home together then should't both names be on it?  I wouldn't buy a house with someone and not put my name on the deeds - husband or not!

It's kind of hard asking that question since I'm American and I know the American guidelines.\nThe only thing I can think of is to contact your court system.  Let them know your husband is a bigamist(means being married to more than one person) and that he's living in a different country and what can you do to make things right for yourself along with putting him in his place.

I changed my name to maiden-married when he started divorce procedings... it didn't occur to me until I was served paperwork with my name appearing like that in them.\n\nIt made sense becuase I still wanted to have my kids name as well as distancing myself from my ex.\n\nI found out that ex did that on purpose to try and force me into a name change.. well.. it worked. =P\n\nADD COMMENT:\n\nIt's NOT to late.... visit the social security website or call them for details.  It's the first step to changing it.  You will need ID and your divorce decree.  http://ssa.gov/gethelp1.htm

yes. anything acquired during the marriage is marital property no matter whose name is on it

Well I don't think you can legally change any of the data on a birth certificate.After all it's a sworn statement.You can call yourselves any name you wish legally by deed poll

No..the wife isn't..In fact some states will not even entertain the thought of splitting the property between the spouses when the other has inherited in a will...Let's ask you the question..If you were left a will prior to you marrying your husband, should your husband be entitle to it? Even if you inherited the property while married, it's still yours..It was willed to you.\n\nThe answer is simply no...\n\nAnything outside that..I suggest you consult with an attorney.

Your husband is the victim of identity theft.  I would start by retaining counsel and then having the attorney contact the police department to determine what their records show.  The attorney can also advise you on the procedure in Arizona for resubmission of fingerprints on your husband, so that the proper name is associated with this, and that if your husband is stopped on a traffic stop, he isn't required to prove that he isn't your brother.\n\nFor a referral to an Arizona attorney, consult your local or state bar association.
