No. FYI, there are no laws in the US that require a woman to change her name to that of her husband.
Yes. Effective June 1, 2014, a certificate of marriage, regardless of where it was issued, is sufficient proof of legal change of name for an Illinois driver's license. The gender of your spouse is irrelevant.
Yes, a widow should submit the marriage certificate when applying for a fresh passport. The marriage certificate is required to verify the marital status of the applicant and establish the name change (if any) after marriage.
(in the US) Yes, it would be unlawful. No one but you can legally change your name. At the time of the divorce (especially if there were children of the marriage) you will be given a choice as to whether you wish to keep your married last name or revert back to your maiden (nee) name. However, if there were no children of the marriage, the court might inquire as to why you wished to keep it - but your ex-husband would not have the power, by himself, to change it.
Anytime. * There are no laws that apply to the length of time when a woman changes her maiden name to that of her husband's. Nor are there any laws that require a woman to do so. If you do decide to change your name to that of your husband, you should notify the government agencies where your identify would be affected by the change, (Social Security Administration, state DMV, etc.)
No, you can change your name at anytime after your marriage, no time limits.
yes
Woman's last name prior to marriage when she takes husband's last name.
Yes
Yes, in states that recognize same-sex marriage, any time (even years) after the marriage, either or both parties to the marriage may change his or her last name to that of the other spouse or a combination of both names using the original certificate of marriage as a legal name change document. If the woman used her ex-husband's name on the marriage license (and therefore it appears on the certificate), then her wife CAN legally adopt that last name and both women will bear the name of the first woman's ex-husband. PS: The word "partner" is not an appropriate term when speaking of married persons. If you are speaking of changing names without marriage, then that must be done by petition and court order. The issue, then, is within the discretion of the judge who handles your name change petition.
divorce him, legally the marriage was illegal since his name was fake its like you were never married
In Illinois, you must be at least 18 years old to change your name without parental consent.
