Re: legal name
You don't necessarily "have" to, but it is always a good idea to have your "legal" name be the same as the one that you use. Getting your name changed is not a terribly hard process, though there are several legal hoops that you must jump through in order to do so.
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.
