Okay, it took a several months before I changed my last name when I got married. My husband had no problem with any of my decision I had made.
So, I decided to make my last name hyphenated. I use my maiden name for career purposes, but my legal last name was both the maiden and married name combined.
Now after a couple of years, my split last name has caused a lot of confusion and sometimes makes it impossible for computer data entry software programs.
I’ve been thinking about change my last name again. I am considering having my maiden name as my middle name for career purposes and use my married name as my legal last name.
It seems like a long process between the doctor offices, bank, utilities, landlord, Social Security and Department of Motor Vehicles, etc. I am wondering if it would be worth it.
It didn’t cost me anything to change my last name when I married because I had my marriage license with me. Will it cost me money to change my last name again because I’m not getting a divorce?
