with the hassles of upgrading driver’s licenses or getting a new one when I moved to another state, I wish I had gone back to my maiden name after my divorce. I didn’t keep my original marriage cert so there is a hole in my paper trail. Going back to my maiden name would have saved me a heck of a lot of time and trouble at a couple of DMVs.
I was never certain where the “Stone” came from. Traditionally it’s the man’s name. Presumably Val’s late husband was Tom Stone. But Joan is Joan Stone, so that lets out that theory.
I agree with Joan on divorce take the maiden name back.For us, DMV for DL renewal, when married wife have to take marriage license, BC, and I think SS to allow for Federal symbol to prove American also allows to fly commercial out of the U.S., now wonder if divorced for the woman have to bring that document.
When we were first married I worked with my dad and my husband and I started a hand crafted business also. I had planned to change my last name to my husband’s. I was in a department store one day and the woman ahead of me had a problem as she was also doing so and her charge card had one last name and her license the other. So I told husband that I would change to a dual last name so I would not have this problem and then when that calmed down “in a couple of years” I would finish changing it to his name.
Since both names were on my license, etc, dad liked that I could use married name as it was on my ID and made the practice look larger and husband liked that I could use my maiden name as it made our craft business look larger. Time passed and suddenly it was a couple of decades later and I still had a combined last name and that is how it has stayed. It is problem as my driver’s license does not have my first name – only an initial as it did not fit and the same with several of my charge cards. My Passport was changed to my married name only as my last name is Jewish and we had decided that when traveled out of the country it might be safer to not have it on my passport (this is during the period of hijackings). I have never used my passport except for a brief period when our state had not added photos to licenses and when we in other states stores sometimes required a photo id with charge cards. This will probably make a problem when I have to change my license to the new one. Oh wait I may have used it on our two car trips to Canada.

Have Wally adopt Max and lose the Krabowsky for good.

Wally could always take her name! That’s what my husband chose to do.
