Can we sue my ex wife for using my surname? Divorce with no children and it was messy as hell. She made a big show of making sure her surname was changed to her maiden And I’ve recently been shown her using my surname still My current wife and I have children and I think it’s super disrespectful to them I’ve asked her to stop using my name but she refuses
This is fake right

Nope. If you were married, it is now her name even if you divorce.

You’re divorced with no kids. Therefore, no ties. Why you so obsessed with what she’s doing? Focus on your current wife and your children.

Am i the only one who read that the ex made a big deal about changing back to her maiden name? It would then be fraud to use her formerly married name to get cards, accounts etc in her FMN. I would definitely wonder why on earth she was using it

She is only doing it to be petty obviously or she wouldn’t of tried to get her maiden name back I’d look at it as what it is her trying to get a rise out of you I wouldn’t give it to her… If she wants to use the name of someone she isn’t even with let her just makes her look strange cause what reason other than being petty does she have to use it

Did the divorce decree give her back her maiden name?
Lol I still use my ex husband’s last name🤷🏻♀️ it’s a process to get it changed. That’s probably why she won’t change it. You suing her is a waste of time. Tell your wife to let it go and move on. This is ridiculous.

If the judge ordered that her name can be legally changed back, it’s weird for her to be using it. However, she may find it easier if the children’s name are the same.
Perhaps if you stopped worrying about it she wouldn’t be so petty to keep using it
Ugh…the things that people want to get angry about.

If you’re divorced and had NO children with her then what is the reasoning behind caring about what she is using as her name? You have no reason to have anything to do with her much less worry about her name. I used my ex-husbands name for 5 years until I got re-married because it was easier than having to change my name on EVERYTHING.
Ignoring it. She’s looking for drama and attention
I always thought when you get a divorce, you can keep your married last name or go back to maiden. But if she is using like Mrs. Doug Phillips and she is divorced and plus you have a new wife, that she is not supposed to be including your first name anymore. But I don’t anybody that uses their ex first name in their name anyway.
I used my ex-husband’s surname for 6 years after we divorced (no children together). I only changed it when I remarried. It’s not being disrespectful and you need to let it go!

U still care entirely too much about what a person… That literally has nothing to do with u anymore… Is doing. Move on

Big deal…get over it!!! Live your life and teach your kids to respect her no matter what last name she has unless she abysses them. Which I highly doubt!
Well, you cared enough at one time to give it to her. Now you are up the creek without a paddle.
The more you show you care the longer she will use it.
Good luck! Her choice.
I don’t think you can make her change it.
She doesn’t have to do fk all

She can have as many kids as she wants in the future with as many people as she wants and every one of those kids can have your surname
It is definitely not disrespectful
She was your wife first. She can use that name until she remarries or dies

You can’t. My ex husband tried to request that in our divorce. I think it’s petty. There’s a lot of dumb paperwork and shit to get it changed. Let it go, it isn’t a big deal and it surely doesn’t affect you, your wife, or your kids whatsoever
But no sweet thang you can not sue your ex wife for this

Of course! You can sue anyone for any reason but the thing is why waste money on something you won’t win? It’s foolish to even be this angry about something so small.

Unless she has petitioned the court to get her name legally changed back to using your surname, then she has to sign legal documents using her legal name-using her maiden name-if that was granted in the divorce. If she is not signing legal documents, I think she would have to be committing some kind of fraud using your surname to get into trouble.
My sister still uses her old married name
Honestly shes doing it for a reaction if u do not give it to her she will eventually stop and move on but obviously u both are still checking each others accounts or atleast seeing the reaction of the other person. If u have a new wife n kids focus ur energy on that and she will eventually just stop my opinion ne ways
I am divorced and still have my married name. I don’t think it’s disrespectful. I’ll change it someday. There’s a lot of work that goes into changing it - social security, passport issues, DL, bank accounts. It isn’t something that you can change in a day. Maybe keep that in mind. Emphasis on the passport because it’s insane what you go through w a name change and a new
Passport.
