Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
my husband got a divorce *. The ex wife was the petitioner and she chose to reside to her former name in the divorce decree. We were recently told that she is still using his last name and that she said something wasn’t finished with the divorce so she still had his last name when that’s not true because we are now married so they are divorced. We were also recently informed she had a child by another man and named it after my husband. We tried to open a court case asking her to reside to her former name as said in divorce decree and for her child to reside to her maiden name since it’s not his child and they overruled it . I don’t know if it wasn’t in their jurisdiction or not. She recently had a court case and it says her maiden name but on her updated ID with updated Address is says married name
It sounds like a complex situation. Here are some points that might help:
- If the divorce decree states she should revert to her former name, she is legally required to do so.
- You might need to file a motion for contempt if she is not following the decree.
- For the child's name, family courts generally prioritize the child's best interests, which may complicate requests to change the name.

What if she never completes name change does that mean she still has the married name
Case Rating: *
If she never completes the name change process, legally she may still use her married name on identification and other documents. However, if the divorce decree requires her to revert to her maiden name, she is technically not complying with it.
