Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

name change

I have been divorced for over a year now, unfortunately I did not have it included in the divorce to take back my maiden name. I was convicted of a felony 8 years ago under my married name. Is it possible to have my name changed back, and if so, how do I do it?

Re: name change

Thank you for your inquiry. My name is Tawni Cummings, and I am an attorney with The Harris Law Firm, a 9-attorney firm in Denver specializing in family law.

In order to change your name at this point, you will need to file a separate court action (not part of your dissolution of marriage case) in the county court in the county in which you reside. For more information, I suggest visiting the following website for the Colorado Judicial Branch:

If you require further assistance, please feel free to contact me at the telephone number, or email address below.

Best of luck,
