My ex and I divorced in '99 and she still goes by my last name. We have sons together who have my last name. I don't see the big deal myself. Doesn't bother my wife in the least bit that my ex still goes by my last name. In fact, my ex SIL still goes by our last name. My wife has had people agree with her that, if no kids were involved she could take back her maiden name, but, with kids, keep her married last name. Don't know anybody around here who made a big deal over a last name.
Well I guess you can take the truck since he CLEARLY did not obey what he was supposed to do. I don't know but, I would not even give him the truck in the first place even if I don't want it.
No I legally cannot without a court order. What would happen is I would have to pay a couple thousand dollars, my attorney would file contemp charges, we would go to court, I would pay another $1k and the judge would tell him he has 30 days to put the truck in his name. I have other things to spend money on, besides an old truck, that has to be on its last legs...

Like I said, I would not give him the truck in the first place..... Like I said you are low on luck coz of your own doing. And if he pays insurance to protect you then why do you even bring it up on your OP like it's a big deal?

I was just mentioning the truck on how the name conversation started.
Something tells me there is more to someone hating the fact you keep your old name than just the name itself based on your post history here.
If all you want to hear is that you’re ok to keep your old name than I guess you’re going to get that from me. Keep it if that’s what suits you, but understand how that may reflect on to other aspects of your life while trying to build a new one with others.
“independence” doesn’t make or fix broken bonds, It keeps them apart.

I guess, when you've married and had a child with someone it might be impossible to eliminate all reminders of that person.

This weekend, following an issue with my ex husbands truck, still in my name, my ex husband casually mentioned to my brother that if I changed my last name, his issues would not involve me. (The truck being put in his name would resolve the issues...)
So then my bf of several years, mentioned it bothers him that I use my ex husbands name. To me it is just a name. It sounds better than my maiden name, easier to spell and same as my daughter.
I would love to have the same last name as both my children, but I think it is to late to make name changes. I regret giving my son his fathers last name instead of using my current last name.
The last time my last name came up, I thought of just using my grandparents last name but that is confusing also.
Do names really matter? Should my bf be bothered that I have the same last night as my ex husband? My gut just says let it go and this too shall pass...
More evidence that changing your name at marriage is a no-longer-needed tradition.
