What is the name of your state? Arkansas
Although this is not directly a Divorce Question, I couldn’t find a subject directly relating to my question. However I believe them many Divorced people have fallen into the same kind of place I have so I think my question can easily be answered here.
I had an ex-friend that has basically been harassing people (7 at last count). It has gotten so bad that I fear her. I have moved several times, but she works for a company that dose background check. Eventually things start happening again.
In an attempt to avoid her I have come to deiced that if it would help I would legally change my name. However, if I do don’t I have to notify the County clerk and SS administration? It will then be public records and she will then (as related to her job) be able to see my name change.
So my question, can one legally change ones name in secret? Can I make the name change without it becoming Public records? I have no major credit cards or a criminal record so that is not my reason for asking (to avoid these). Again I ask this question here because a lot of divorce are due to violence and so people may wish to change there names to avoid their ex-husbands, for example.
