If the case is still pending, then you should be able to amend your pleadings to request the name change. If not, then you can file a new action seeking a name change, but there are many more steps involved than there would be if it was part of the divorce.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
