    It's not the court order she would be ignoring if the judge allows here to keep her married name. And I am skeptical that a final settlement agreement has to be resigned by the parties if the judge makes a decision for her to keep her name.

    All she has to do is ask the judge and since her Ex is not present to object, she should get her request. In my divorce decree, it is one sentence. Plaintiff will be known by her madden name. She takes the final judgment of divorce to whatever agency and her name was changed to her madden name. Not complicated.

    What I don't understand is how the husband is not required to be present at the final hearing for the voir dire .
    When I got divorced neither one of us ever was in court. The attorneys handled everything.

    Your decree or how you think the judge will do things doesn't matter. It is idiotic on your part to argue the part of the issue that has already been communicated to the OP by her lawyer. First, you don't have the information that the lawyer has. Second, you aren't qualified to argue it and finally, that wasn't the question the OP asked.

    Well thank you for that well thought out response. Do you want to make a bet that she retains her married name?

    And pretty much your aren't qualified to post much of anything that actually deals with the law. All just a lay opinion. But pump yourself up. Irrelevant.

    You clearly have reading and/or reading comprehension issues. But we knew that.

    Actually I should have specified the federal government. The feds won't recognize the name change until it has been changed with the SSA. However, I bet the MA Department of Taxation or Revenue does care about it being changed with the SSA first as well. Other departments might not, but I bet that one does.
    I've been married a few months short of 15 years and I haven't changed my name with the MA Dept of Revenue yet. And it was the SSA that told me it didn't matter whether I changed my name with the Feds or the state first.

    At the same time, I made sure that all the name changes had taken place with state agencies, Federal agencies and my employers before I filed any tax returns. I bet not even Indiana cares what order you do them in as long as it's all done before you file a tax return.

    You're like a bully in the playground. If you have nothing constructive or something related to the law to say, then just be quiet. I'm not interested in playing your games.

    You are the one that told the OP to ignore her lawyer.

    No I did not tell her to ignore her lawyer. I said that she should ask the judge about her name at the final hearing. That is what I said.

    Her lawyer told her what would need to be done.

    You can bow down to the lawyer. But the judge can do what the court decides. If OP were speaking about child support, alimony, division of property or custody, then maybe a new agreement would be necessary. But a name change? I don't think so.
