What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I recently got a divorce in May - I hired a lawyer who I thought would have explained the process to me a little bit better. Long story short everything finalized so quickly and I didnt get to change my name in the process. I got the divorce decree in the mail from the lawyer that's when I realized all was done. I wanted to have my maiden name and married name hypenated because of my children. How do I go about changing it now? Is it possible to change the divorce decree or amend it? Really it was my fault thinking that he was going to do everything for me - I should have researched that part on my own.
