Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I was divorced in 2001 and did not request for name change. However, in 2003, I had name changed to my maiden name thru US naturalization citizenship process. We have a 25 year old daughter that is disabled and handicapped and I am her representative payee in financial matters and will be filing custodial matters regarding her medical care etc. I am thinking of resuming my previous married name thru a filing in court for a name change in order for me to have same last name as my daughter. Is this allowed for me to resume a previous married name?

With a name change, you can change your name to almost anything you want so long as it's not to avoid creditors or avoid a warrant or commit fraud.
Yes you can do that, you have to have an FDLE background check plus file a petition to change the name.
You will need a court order and may need consent from your ex.
