When the final decree is issued paragraph 3.14 of the decree will change your name (if a name change is indicated), you don't have to do anything else, except inform agencies of the name change (DOL, Social Security, etc). The petition is simply a proposal as to changing your name. So who is going to present final documents (you or your spouse)?
