I need to know if there is anyone that may know a judge or lawyer that might be able to help. So far no lawyer has offered any real help with this issues.
I've had a problem with an ex-bf's surname that was hyphenated onto my son's name. An ex-boyfriend came to the hospital asked for the paperwork at the nurses desk. They gave it to him & he not only filled out the info for father, but added his surname onto my son's name. This wasn't legal. I wasn't notified till after the papers were sent out. They told me it was too late, that I'd have to have it changed at the Vital Records Office. On the form at the hospital, it states it's a contract. That if I wasn't married not to fill in the father's info.
I was engaged. The ex-bf was not the father, had told everyone we were getting married and had been stalking me, This was causing a lot of trouble between me and my fiance. Then this happened. This was pretty much the last straw. I went to the Vital Records Office and they refused to make the correction and remove the hyphen. They said I had to get the permission of the father to remove it. I told them he's not the father! They didn't seem to care. I asked frequently, that the ex-bf would sign the papers and get it notarized so I could fix this. He refused.
I went to family court and got sol custody of my son without the hyphenated name on the papers. the ex-bf never even came to court.
I used this to keep my son from having that name on any of his papers/records. But his birth certificate and his social are the only things that have it listed because they won't change them without a legal document signed by a judge it seems. Despite the custody papers having a judges signature they refused that document also.

How can I get that hyphen off of them without going through a legal court name change? I don't see the purpose of placing the ad in the newspaper since he's not changing the name he's used all his life. Just changing the two documents that have the wrong surname attached illegally to his name.
Medical, school, all his documents are in the name I gave him. He's never used that name.
Since the ex-boyfriend was abusive, manipulative and the reason I got away from him. This person has caused so many problems. Even with him no longer around this has haunted us for a long time. I finally want to be done with this whole thing. It's crazy that it's done illegally & yet he gets away with it.

I can come up with the $65 for court fees to process the paperwork, but I can't come up with the publication fee of $120. Plus it makes no sense to publish when it isn't really changing the name. I need to know how to get this fixed?

Now post 9/11 I knew that changing a name via usage still was usable due to it being one of the older commonwealth laws. On the books, it states that change of name through usage has the same weight as if it was done via the court. But because of the obsession with a paper trail many govt places won't accept it anymore. I had mine done back in the 1980's, so I was able to get my ss card changed, only my bc has the old name because they don't change it, only notate it even with a court name change. So why even bother.
But with my son's bc, they will give him a new one with the non hyphenated name on it - but they want it to be done through the court.
What's worse is that even though I moved to another state, that ex-bf followed me. Almost every time he found me I had to move again. But when I was with my new guy, he stayed away. When I went to the hospital and had my daughter, I stayed alert to anyone who was visiting. They knew my guy there and I didn't have to worry about them giving paperwork out to anyone. So I took my daughter to the nursery, so that I could go shower. The nurse had been in my room when I left. I told her that I'd finished my forms and to take the clipboard to the station for me. She said she would.
Later on when I was home, I took all the papers and such out of the large envelope they'd given me. Her hospital certificate was in there - and there on it, hyphenated onto her name was my ex-bf's name. I immediately called the hospital and asked for an explanation. They said that was what was on the paperwork they'd received. I found that nurse again and asked her about it. She said a man came in and asked her where I was. He said he was my brother and he had balloons and a stuffed toy. She said he couldn't stay in the room since I was out and it wasn't visiting hours yet. He said that was fine he'd come back later.
She left the room and forgot to take my clipboard with her to the station! He must have slipped back into the room and filled out the form then left it there or taken it to the station...I don't know which it was, but he'd done it again! Once again this situation didn't go over very well with the guy I was with, though it did last longer than the last time.
Finally, years later I was finally rescued by my friends - I got away and moved to another state. I really hated moving, but it did get us free of that ex-bf - at least physically. He was warned by a number of my friends not to follow or bother me. They kept tabs on him, giving him a taste of what he'd done to me. So it should have been over. But with his name hyphenated onto their names has come back to haunt them now that they want state IDs.
I really need to find a judge that could have the papers signed so that we could just have a family surname change so that it's done. That way I don't have to worry about any new paranoid law that makes you have to use the name on your bc. This way it will finally fix things. Trouble is, even though I have found information on family surname changes. I can't find a lawyer or anyone that knows how to do them.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Hello, I am a single mother of 3 and raising my sister's daughter, I had a couple of setbacks at the beginning of 2009 and a couple of more during the middle of the year, I am now about 3328.35 in debt with a personal finance company that is threatning to litigate me I would really like to know if someone knows of consolidation, or rights in louisiana the would prevent, that I have advised this company that I had several problems and that I am so sorry not be able to make the payments each year that I have had accounts with this company I have paid off all debt at the beginning of the year, but this year the agent that I spoke to said it will be sent to litigation first where as I will have to pay more

In MY opinion, There aren't enough REAL opportunities online.  Given our economic situations, you would think that there would be more companies more than willing to hire people working from home.  That way, mothers can be with their children, cutting cost of daycare.  That way fewer people are using GAS to get to work.  However, there are so many companies downsizing, cutting hours, and then letting people go.  Thus, avoid having to pay any unemployment.  Now days, anyone who wants to start their own business, they have so many laws to fight against, that it's pretty much impossible, unless you've got someone willing to front the money.  Then most likely spending the rest of your life paying for it.

Thus, websites and online business is so much more feasible, however, there is still alot of work to be done to get it up and running.  From making sure that it's attractive with substance, to Traffic Exchanges and other means of Promoting it.

It takes work and dedication, and you may not see any results for atleast a month.  But if you do your business right, and the demand is high enough, you'll be a hit in no time.  But if it's not in demand, be prepared for the worst.
