Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Add suffix to name

My husband's son's name is Jr. on his birth certificate but I don't legally use Sr. on my name but I need to so their names don't get confused later. Right now there has not been an issue. So what can he do?

There is no such legal name as Sr. as no one knew they would be a Sr. when they were born. There is really nothing you can do to solve the confusion using Jr.'s may cause.

Even though it hasn't been a problem it may be a problem when the son starts incurring debts or buying property. Your husband should notify everyone he can that he is "___________, Sr."
