Re: Name change
I have never seen a decree that says you will change your name. I have seen decrees that changed a party's name. If you have a decree that changed your name and you have not notified appropriate people and agencies of the name change you may have some problems, but unless the failure to do the updates affects your former spouse in some way, I don't know what the basis of the suit would be.
