A Last Name

So here is the question/debate/discussion I post to all of you.

Should a divorced woman be allowed to keep her ex-last name?

Before you answer, I know many of you mother's want to have the same last name as your children (for their sake) but, isn't that what saving a marriage is about? Understanding that there is no form of abuse or infidelity in the relationship. I mean it's not like keeping your ex-last name is going to help ease the pain that children are going to feel when their father is gone. This of course is assuming that kids are involved. If kids are not involved, I say no way to keeping the last name. You give up the right to carry on that name in the process of the divorce.

I look forward to all the responses. And don't worry, you can't hurt my feelings. I have been in the military too long to get my feelings hurt. Say what you think/feel don't hold back.

You are correct. I am not necessarily unhappy, it just bothers me that she kept my last name. That is my birth given name, not hers. My father felt the same way when he and my mother got divorced. I guess I inherited that gene from him.

No, I don't mind you checking out my grammar/English. I am flattered. I take it as a compliment.
lol, no, no, I didn’t check your English. I said I’m interested to practise my English here! lol

And about your last name that you ex is still keep, heiya… in this case, I think you should take it easy! Don’t be so selfish. (Sorry but I call this is selfish). Reason? OK, even you both were divorced but you both were together, if she likes you last name, just let her keeps it!

Hey, are you a gentleman? lol
Mimi, you know my opinion on this stuff, I'm with you 100%, a name is a name! But...if...between exs there is hate...then...isn't just a name...! cheers
hello, unshockable! wave
Hello Hugh wave
Yes, I understand the hate...
BUT, still... I think it's just a name cheers

Just my frankly speaking as I thought that is very typical style from US, please forgive me if I hurt you by my talking way as above. bowing

all that anger coz she kept the name,what if u were supposed to pay her a fee for divorcing her,or the rent until she gets marry.
these are laws in arab countries.

so, let it go its just an ink on paper for her, and for u on the contrary it proofs that u worth since she did so.
be happy no victims (kids)in between.
good luck
This is a good post. The procedure of changing name/s is costly and time consuming.

Not sure how it is, where your at...but here (Alabama -USA) a man can petition the courts to not allow her to use your last name, as part of the conditions of a divorce.
