Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Divorce with a different name?
After I got married I changed my first name. My driver license still shows my original name (though SS might be updated). I would like my divorce documents to show my original name (name on the marriage certificate), therefore I'd like to apply for dissolution of marriage with my original name. Can I do that? Otherwise it will look like, my spouse married X but divorced Y.

Re: Divorce with a different name?
You can refer to yourself as an AKA (Also Known As) since you have actively used both names.
