Re: Last name change after divorce

Greetings; I do not believe she was 'ordered' to change her name. She has the right to change her name if she wants to. And she had her attorney put in a provision that changes her name. She is not required to change her name and he can not force her to do so. It is her right to choose. So, what are you options...in a word. None.
