Lmfaoooo I’m sorry, what??? 
you want to sue her because she didn’t change her name after marrying you? 
what would be the grounds to sue her? Your wife’s butthurt feelings?? stop stalking your ex wife, what she does is now NONE of your business. Mind your own business and tell your wife to do the same.

Its weird for sure that she changed it legally but still goes by it. Ppl jumping him about it, i mean there has been women on here that have asked wayyy crazier questions, no need to be rude.
Shut up dude, that’s dumb and you can sue anyone for any reason that doesn’t mean you can win she can use whatever name she wants you don’t own the name.
Who cares if shes still using it? You don’t have children together. Let it go.

She may be doing it to get under your skin and you are letting her.
Who cares. Most of the time when you ignore a bully they leave you alone eventually. And in the grand scheme of life this just seems so unimportant. I’m sure that there are plenty of people in the world with your same last name she’s just one more. Ignore her

I think you need to move on and not worry about it. But you can sue for just about anything.
I have the same issue. I kept his name as our daughter was two. It was just easier. His second wife, who came along a decade later, is psychotic about me using that name. She needs to let it go. We don’t even live near each other!

Legally I still have my ex husbands last name. It’s a pain in the ass getting your name changed. He is remarried and has 2 kids with her. (We have 1 daughter together) if his new wife ever said anything I’d laugh in her face. It’s just a name!
I still have my ex husband’s last name and we haven’t been together in over 15 years. It’s my legal last name . Only one I can use lmao
Why do you know this though? She’s your ex for a reason. Do you share children? Because if so I would assume you wouldn’t have an issue. If not then why are you even bothering to hear, see or speak on her?

I mean more than One person has the same last name there are lots of common last names he can’t sue everybody with the last name is Smith
Some of you need to go back and read and comprehend! She took her maiden name back during divorce, they do not share children! Legally his last name is no longer hers to use!

Sounds petty to me. It not just YOUR surname… I’m sure there are plenty of people out here with your exact last name, and you most likely aren’t even related.
So why is it that big of a deal, really?
You can’t sue for something so outrageous… The court will laugh. I assure you.
I unfortunately am stuck with my ex husband’s last name due to paperwork mistakes… Could have been a boo-boo on paperwork… She probably doesn’t even want anything to do with you, man.

I’ve been married to my husband for over 30 years and his first and only other wife before me still uses his last name and they were only married for less than 2 years. Also my son’s first wife did the same thing recently, they were married for less than 2 years also and have been divorced now for over 3 years and she still uses our last name too. Get over it and enjoy life, it doesn’t bother me either way that my husband’s first wife still goes by our last name or my ex daughter in law, they can both keep wishing ! Oh and also my husband’s ex wife went on to have more children who all got adopted except for one and that one (now an adult) has our last name too !!! And I’m friends with that person on Facebook !

Who cares. Don’t give any of your energy to that situation. Focus on your current wife and kids and let her do her own thing.

Too funny, not worth the time n aggravation…who cares what the ex is doing now. Yous don’t have kids, so just leave her be, an you n the current should just move on, live ur lives. Im sure there are far more important things to do than worrie about what the ex is doing…if she was using ur entire name for shit, that would be a diff story…but other than that it’s really not your concern…
What’s the difference!!
I know people that still use ex husband’s last name and they have been seperated for 10 plus years.
Legally her name is whatever the divorce decree states. If she said she wanted to go back to her maiden name then legally it has to be changed back to that. If she chose to keep her married name in the divorce decree then she has to keep that name until she remarries or petitions the court for a name change. I know for a fact this is how it is done in TN. When I got divorced at 19 my ex dis all the paper work, it was not messy and we had 1 attorney. They chose for me to keep my married name. When I went to change it afterwards I was told that my divorce decree said I was keeping my married name so I would have to keep it or pay hundreds of dollars to go before a judge to have it legally changed. With all this being said look at your divorce decree and talk to your attorney. You may have legal grounds to make her change it especially since their are no children involved.
My dad’s first wife’s till carries his last name, they had kids together, my mum still uses his last name and sodoes his current wife, at no point did ì hear my dad or his wife have and
issue with ìt… sounds like your current wife might have some jealously ìssues, hope it doesn’t lead to narcissistic behavior 
My husband and I have been together 22 years…and several before we got married. His ex still has his last name. Used to piss me off , AND she moved down the street from us!
.
In my state you can keep it or go back to your maiden name
It is her name also but I do not understand why use it. She had it changed, when I had mine changed I never used it again.
Sounds to me like she is only doing it because it bugs you.
You both sound toxic. She was adamant about her surname being changed to her maiden name, but still uses the married surname. Sounds shifty as shit And you, why are you so worried about what name she’s using? Focus on your current wife and kids.
No you can’t get over yourself .

You don’t own the surname so no, you cant.
No, you can not sue someone for using your surname if it is legally their surname. If, in the divorce papers, she chose to legally take her maiden name as her last name again after the divorce, and got it legally (by way of federal and state documentation, i.e. social security, driver’s license, etc.) you still can’t sue her for using your surname, but if she continues to use it and not her legal last name (her maiden name) on other things that connect to local, state, federal or financial paperwork, you can INFORM whoever she is using your surname with that she’s committing fraud. If she DID NOT LEGALLY have her last name changed back to her former last name, there is nothing you can do.

I don’t know about suing but it’s strange that she uses it after she changed her name back. I’m getting divorced Andi plan to change mine back and for good reason. Is she using it for legal documents or is it just small stuff? Do your children see it?I mean I don’t think it’s a big deal unless it’s for legal documents because it’s not her legal name … Are you sure she changed it?

I think this is just drama on your part. Get over it. Talk to your attorney to make sure shes not in violation of any court order. If not, then just move on. Tell your wife to move on as well. There are far more important matters to focus on.

Lol, nope. It’s her choice to change her name or not after a divorce. I still use my ex husbands name. I was married 31 years and everyone knows me by his last name.

My husband and I married. I REFUSED to take his last name (my family I was the only non married in woman in 3 generations so I was proud) and he took my last name to piss off his parents. We divorced and he kept it. He remarried (he married a woman on the exact day and time that would have been our 10 yr anniversary to a woman with a similar first name) and she took his last name…which is my maiden name. Nothing u can do about it.
I hyphenated, less hassle
Unless she was required by the MSA to legally change her name, you will need an attorney to take her to court. Go get an attorney. We have no power over your ex wife in this forum.
It would help to know if she is using your last name for work where she has developed a career and contacts with that name or if you are so pissed off that she uses the last name all of the time. Does she call herself Mrs. Charles Smith or just. Jody Smith? It does make a difference. If she only uses the name for her established career, I do not believe a court is going to force her to change it.
Good luck. I wish a name was the only issue I had in my life. Can you not see how petty you and your new wife are?
Doubtful you can sue. You gave her that name. It’s her choice to change it when there is a divorce!
Many years back they changed the law. you have to put the name you are going to use in the papers of divorce. My divorce was before the law and in a state that never changed thier law. Once my kids where old enough to understand why I wanted a different name as them I tried to change my name. That was a very difficult task. Check the laws in your state. You might be able to get her in trouble for using an alias.
