Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
If my attorney did not provide name change procedures and papers as was originally agreed upon when he was hired/prepaid for his services in the divorce ...what is my next course of action?

If the case is still pending, then you should be able to amend your pleadings to request the name change. If not, then you can file a new action seeking a name change, but there are many more steps involved than there would be if it was part of the divorce.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
