If I can do a name change do I put it in the complaint and judgment? Thank you,
Dear cpp:
Greetings. First, you do not need your spouse’s consent to change your name back to your maiden name. You do need to include the request in the complaint or answer. The name will need to be in the judgement also. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your assistance.
Can I include a name change back to my maiden name in an absolute divorce? If so do I just add an additional line saying
