    Default If My Ex-Remarries, Can She Change Our Children's Names

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Illinois

    If my ex wife gets remarried can she change our children last name to that of the man she is marrying? I don't want her to be able to it would just confuse our children when they have always had my last name not to mention my children with my second wife also have my name. Will my ex wife be able to do this without asking me?

    She cannot change the names of your children without your consent unless your parental rights have been terminate.

    Then no, she cannot change their names without your consent - unless she is able to get the courts to allow the name change.

    Update:

    I put in a motion to stop my ex wife from moving out of the county with our children and to prevent her from atemping to change our childrens last name to that of her soon to be husband. The hearing is on the 22nd of this month. She says the only reason he wants her to move to where he is from is because he doesn't want her to live in low income apartment anymore and while I have no problem with him helping her to get out of a low income apartment. I do have a problem with her moving to another county with our children, especialy when she has broken visitation orders repeatly just because she was mad, with her living that far away it would make it easier for her to do so again. And there is no doubt that he would help her do so especialy when he just posted this online a few days ago ( i wish nick would just freakin die he lies and nobody likes him what a loser ). I don't want to lose out on any more time with our children than I am already forced to because of the divorce.
