Name Change

[rverhoeven]

The wording in your divorce complaint does not need to be fancy or complex, it can be as straightforward as:

Plaintiff desires to resume her birth name, [insert name you wish to resume once the divorce is granted], after the absolute divorce is granted.

Is there anyone who works with this web site/law firm that may have an answer to this? If not, would someone please post a message to that effect?

Thank you,

Original Post

I would like to include a request for name change (to my birth name) in my divorce complaint and judgment but I am unable to find sample wording. I have found, in a variety of locations such as the NC Rules, the wording to several forms that I must submit but none that would indicate how to include the name change.

Would you please provide the wording for this or point me in the direction where I might find it?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and

Kind Regards,

Terry
