She can keep the name if she wants. You can't make her change it. |

It's her name if she wants to keep it. |

No she can use it if she wants, I don't like this set-up but it's the law! |

No. You gave it to her when you married her, and it is hers for life unless she decides to give it up or to remarry. |

nope. that last name has become hers and it's the name that she has been known by, you can't stop her. |

Nope sorry unless she wants to change it. One of the pitfalls of a marriage ending in divorce |

nope she gets to pick i still got my ex husbands last name after 16 years I hate it now i did it for the kid sake. if you got kids let her keep it for the kids OK. makes life easier in school for the kids. it is not a big deal unless you make it one. good luck.. |

If your wife wants to keep your last name there isn't anything that you can do. That is left up to her whether or not she wants to change it back. |

Nope, not in this country. |

i don't think so, but you can always change yours |

you can't, If you havent said anything to her yet about the name you can try using reverse psychology on her and laugh at her and tell her how totally stuck she is with your last name now, she may opt to change it back and you win, It's worth a try! |

what did she do to shame the name? but all in all it takes a crap load of work to get a name change. i hated changing my name when i got married. y would i want to go thru all that again especially when i am used to my married name? |

Ask an attorney but i believe the choice is hers. I keot mine because we have sons together, but am considering changing it to my maiden again. |

She has a choice, it depends whether or not she feels like going back to her maiden name i think maiden name meens born last name w/e. It is a very good possibility that she doesnt want to be reconized in the same family as you. No offence but that is usually what happens in divorces. Sorry that you r getting a divroce i hope u find some1 better!!!!! |

No you cannot force her to change the name. She is now Miss. Whoever and unless she changes it then she will remain to be Miss Whoever. |

You can request that in the divorce papers, talk to your lawyer |

Yes, you just have to tell your attorney that you want her to take her maiden name back. My husband made sure his ex wife did because she was pregnant with someone elses kid and he didn't want his namesake on a child that wasn't his and the baby's father denied it was his. If you have children she may pull the I want to have the same last name as my children. You will just have to make sure you come back with, if you remarry your name would change anyway, or something to that affect. Good luck with everything. |

Sorry Charlie, you cannot force your ex wife to go back to her maiden name. I feel for you tho, My husband is an amazing man but his father was an alcoholic wife abuser. I wish I didn't carry his father Olegs last name. Every time his distant family hears of the Last name, they think of Oleg and how abusive he was. |

I really, really feel for you. I don't think there's any way you can make her drop the name. My husband's ex is still using his last name and you have no idea how much it pisses us both off, don't even get me started on it, I'll get kicked off of Yahoo if I say what I really think. And I sincerely doubt she'll ever marry again either (it's already been six years, GOD!) If you want I'll sign a petition to do something about this, haha. |

That's not your decision to make but hers only. |

|

no, but when she 'remarries' she will take her new husband's last name then you'll feel better. |

At the time of the divorce she has the right to either keep your name or change it. Nothing you can do about it. |
