MY DEAR COUPLES: When you are completing the application for your marriage license, and if you want to change your name, please remember:
List on the Marriage License, the name each spouse wishes to use after marriage. Couples are not required to change names, nor are they required to take the same name as their spouse. However, if a name change is desired, it must be correctly reflected before the marriage license is signed. It’s my understanding that once the license is signed, names can only be changed by a court order.
Contact me if you have any question or if you want to schedule your complementary consultation. I’m happy to work with your schedule.
