Alan Cohen says, "It takes a lot of courage to release
the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But
there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting,
for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."
Changing your name? Recently married? Soon to divorce? Want
a different first, last or middle name? All types of name
change require thought, time, research and effort. "Changing
your name", represents a breaking with a variety of
associations - the familiar or the past or the painful or
the obsolete. It also establishes the adventurous and exciting,
or the uncertain or frightening.
Changing
Your Name - Marriage
Former President
John F. Kennedy said that "change is the law of life.
And those who look only to the past or present are certain
to miss the future." When applied to "changing
your name" due to marriage, this type of change also
includes the past, present, and future. To the bride and
groom, changing name and notifying as to change of marital
status due to marriage is importantly linked to a host of
financial, medical, legal, familial and practical benefits.
Name change is not just important to the woman, but to her
husband, and at some time to their child or children.
When changing your name due to marriage it is wise to not
attempt this process alone - it is confusing, complicated
and time consuming. Today, expert help is available - This
is not your mother's name change! The Name
Change Kit For Brides is the only "Expert"
system of "changing
your name".
Changing
Your Name - Divorce
There is an American
proverb which says that, "it doesn't work to leap a
twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps." When in the
process of divorcing or after the final decree is granted,
a woman is left to decide as to her last name change. Even
if not changed prior to marriage, to notify as to change
of marital status due to divorce can be beneficial both
practically and legally.
If minor children
are involved or a life-time career has been established
in the former husband's last name, a divorced woman reverting
to her previous last name can take things at an appropriate
pace, if at all. However, in some States, a woman's declaration
of a reversion to her legal last name prior to marriage
may be required upon issuance of the final decree. In most
scenarios, reverting to previous legal last name requires,
not just permission, but involves a process of notification
- the government and important others will need to be informed
of a reverting from legal married name to that of legal
last name prior to marriage.
The process of
this "type" of changing your name requires help,
as it is time consuming and complicated without it. Like
leaping a twenty-foot chasm in two ten- foot jumps, un -
successful divorce name change is often not completed completely
or quickly without expert tools.
The criteria for the selecting of a name change kit which
assists in the divorced woman's changing of name notification
is similar to the choosing of an "Expert"
bride name change kit. The process and system of name
change notification due to divorce requires special name
change forms, planning materials, software, instructions,
live help, etc.
Changing
Your Name - Other Reasons
Aldous Huxley
said, that "there's only one corner of the universe
you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self."
Changing
your name, for reasons other than marriage or divorce,
can be a way to improve one's own self.
This "type" of name change is different than name
change due to marriage or because of divorce - it requires
a special court's permission. In fact, a court appearance,
legal justification for change of name, filing and processing
fees, specific forms filling and listing of one's intention
to change name in a local publication are all a part of
this name change type. But, do not get the "permission"
to change one's first, middle and/or last name for non-marriage
or non-divorce reasons confused with the final half of the
process - that is name change notification. The government
and important others must be notified as to non-marriage
or non-divorce name change.
When picking
a "name
change kit" for non-marriage or non-divorce name
change, the "Expert" bride name change notification
kit selection criteria is the best guide to a more adequate
notification.
