1) "Virginia Code § 20-121.4 - Restoration of former name Upon decreeing a divorce from the bond of matrimony the court shall, on motion of a party who changed his or her name by reason of the marriage, restore such party's former name or maiden name by separate order meeting the requirements of § 8.01-217. (1979, c. 1; 1990, c. 569; 2003, c. 258.) " Source: http://law.justia.com/virginia/codes/toc2000000/20-121.4.html 2) "C. On any such application and hearing, if such be demanded, the court, shall, unless the evidence shows that the change of name is sought for a fraudulent purpose or would otherwise infringe upon the rights of others or, in a case involving a minor, that the change of name is not in the best interest of the minor, order a change of name." Source and further information: http://law.justia.com/virginia/codes/toc0800100/8.01-217.html Further information: http://www.namechangelaw.com/VA/flc.htm Maybe something could be done, but I am not sure. You would have to ask an attorney what he thinks. I think you would have to bring the proof that the conditions are fulfilled if you want to stop this.

She can have any name she wants. She can change it at any time.

It's a crass move, but, legally, she can assume any name she wants. Just ignore her. She is only trying to get under your skin. Simply using his name does not entitle her to anything, especially not respect.

In Virginia, I know that you are allowed to use any name that was 'given' to you...maiden or any married name. I do not understand why a woman would want to carry the last name of an ex, but who knows?

i can change my name to anything i want... so can she. in fact my best friend went and made up a name because she felt like it and all it takes is a bit of paperwork and a judges signature. as long as its not somethng stupid like "candyass courtney" the judges usualy sign it.
