What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
In the petition of Change of name number 7 states that My name has never been changed pursuint to NCGS 101.6.

The statute states
North Carolina General Statutes 101-6. Effect of change; only one change, except as provided. (a) When the order is made and the applicant's name changed, he is entitled to all the privileges and protection under his new name as he would have been under the old name. No person shall be allowed to change his name under this Chapter but once, except that he shall be permitted to resume his former name upon compliance with the requirements and procedure set forth in this Chapter for change of name, and except as provided in subsection (b) of this section. (b) For good cause shown, and upon compliance with the requirements and procedure set forth in this Chapter for change of name the name of a minor child may be changed not more than two times under this Chapter.(1891, c. 145; Rev., ss. 2147, 2149; C.S., s. 2975; 1945, c. 37,s. 2; 1991, c. 333, s. 1.)

I changed my last name when I was married and am now divorced. I do not want to go back to my maiden name but to my childs last name with my boyfriend. Does this statute exclued me from doing so? I never did the name change except for marital. Please help!

Name change info

The father actually likes the idea. I am his longest girlfriend and I was married for 10 years before my ex married my bridesmaid so neither of us is ready for that. We figure this buys us another couple years but I won't have to deal with not having the same name. I actually checked with his whole family and they were fine with it, mine too.... But 101.6 are they speaking strictly of name change and not including marital name change. I only ever change my name for my husband and hated my maiden name....are they going to allow this?
