For those of you who don’t know, I met a great guy in Feb 03. We moved on together in Sept 03, and got engaged Oct 04. We were married in April 05. Well, in Oct 05, he told me that he had been seeing someone since Aug 03, right after we got together, and he was leaving me. The girl he left me for was also married, and has 3 kids, none of which were her husband’s. We were divorced May 06.

Anyway, I didn’t know that I was supposed to ask for my maiden name back in the divorce. Well after being told that it would be $500 for a new court case, I left it alone for awhile. About a month ago, I decided to write a letter to the court, and petition for my name. I got a letter that said that if my ex didn’t object in 15 days, it would be granted. Well, today in the mail, the petition was granted! I have gone by my maiden name since the divorce, but my driver’s license was on my married name. So, tonight I am going to the BMV and I’m having it changed!

I am so glad that this whole mess is over, and I can finally cut all ties to him. I am sitting here crying!

Thank you for sharing my good news!

Thank you! I am getting stronger every day. It took along time, since I thought we had a great marriage. I was completely blind-sided, but I’m doing better.

I went through that same thing. They wouldn’t change mine though because my ex was deceased and couldn’t agree with it. Ugh. It sucks to be reminded daily when you have to write your legal name.

Congrats. I know it must be a relief!

Thanks, but it wasn’t ever changed. We weren’t married long enough for me to get the app to the SS Administration!

I was one of those people that the BMV contacted about mismatched info. Ooops!
