On a recent visit with my twenty-three year old step son my husband I discovered his name on his social security card and drivers license had been changed to his mothers married name. She in the past had claimed that the married name had only been used in school as an a.k.a..My husband was not comfortable with this but did not protest. We are trying to figure out how she did this without my husbands consent. While he only sees his son once or twice a year she has always had contact with him.
That being said, this is the other issue,about eight months ago out of the blue, she has decided to go after my husband for several years of back child-support. First - without the use of the courts and willing to negotiate the amount, my husband was not in agreement with the amount, so she has now gone through the courts. I understand her rights to go after any monies owed to her, however, I am curious as to what my husbands rights are if she has done a legal name change or step-parent adoption without his consent .
Thank you to anyone who can offer information.
