Legally Changing Your Name Posted: 03-23-04 04:47am
Hey girls I know this is diff in every
state, but I was wondering...Can you
legally change your last name (like
through court system) without getting
married or taking your maiden name??
See, steve and I are engaged. We are not
sure when we are getting married yet. I
hate absoultely hate having a different
last name than jayden. I recently have
been considering changing it to hers and
steves last names. What do you
think????

I think you can, but why dont you just get
married if you want his last name, it will
have a lot more meaning that way. Im not
sure about out there, but I know out here
you can. I mean just get married by court
so you can have his last name

Hmm im not too sure about that one, im
guessing ur best bet would be to call city
hall and ask them...It didnt even cross my
mind that the 3 of us, me tom and baby,
will have different last names....Hm, I
dont see marriage in the future any time
soon so I guess the safest way to go would
be to give her my last name right? Im
sure it would be a heck of a lot easier to
change from my last name to his if we tied
the knot, rather than his back to mine if
we ended up splitting up

That's wierd i'm the opposite. I'm
married but I kept my maiden name, so me
and my son have different names. But it
is just until I finish shcool and stop
getting my financial aid. You get more
money when your single. But my marriage
certificate has my hubby's last name, but
that's where it ends. I guess I never
thought about it that much. Maybe you
should set a wedding date and make it
official.
