CM - I think all you'll need to do is petition the court for a name change. Should be very easy. But definitely get a copy of that BC!!!

Re: birth certificate, we tried to get copy of OC's from the state and were told that H needed permission from XOW! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I assume that means he's not on there? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

So we've never seen it either.

In the state where Josh was born - only the parents can get a copy of the BC if the parents were not married. That could be the standard for a lot of states, and if your H couldn't get a copy, that probably means he is NOT on the BC...

Hello,

You can order Birth Certificates On-line. If your Husband signed the Birth Certificate, then he is a parent to OC, and his name is listed on the Birth Certificate. All you need is OW's name, and you have to pay using a credit card with the Husbands name on it. Go to Vital Records Website and order it on-line. You may also need to know what County & City OC was born in. That should be all.

I ordered OC's Birth Certificate on-line. OW knew nothing about it. My H & I preferred to just order our own copy instead of asking her for it. Everything ( even this) is a problem with OW. SO the less problems the better.

Hope this helps.

Jenny,

Either parent (legally recognized) has a LEGAL right to obtain a copy of their child’s BC. The burden of proof would be on your H, but he is entitled to the document. This business of having to get permission from OW is crap. If he is not listed as the father, then he would have to provide documents (acknowledgement of paternity, Court order for CS, etc.) proving that he is the legal father. Unless….does he share legal custody? If OW was awarded full legal custody, then that MIGHT be a hiccup, but not very likely.

OW changing her last name!!!! LOL God this woman is certifiable!!!!

I would bet the husband and wife are laughing their butts off about the deluded whore! Imagine the jokes on her?

She thinks she is "bugging" them, but in reality she is a joke!


Simply a STOW!!!!!

LynnG,

What does the ST stand for in STOW? Just curious. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

If you don't mind, I'll answer for ya...

It means Stereo Typical Other Woman.

Thank you findingmywayback. Cheerful certainly does fit that discription. I laughed when I read she changed her last name. I know if the OW in our case did this my mom would laugh so hard she would fall out of her chair. Not sure about dad.

I'll take credit for coining that term.......

and personally..it can also mean STupid if you're in the mood! LOL

If you re-read my posts, nowhere does it say that I think this bugs them. The fact of the matter is that they probably don't even know that I have changed my name. (They don't write me CS checks and we have been NC since my pregnancy.)
Besides, the name change was to have my last name correspond with my child's last name for my convenience.

And to say I am a STOW is a little bit "below" my credentials, don't you think?
An OW-name-change-to-MM's-name has to be far above and beyond "Stereotypical".

Can't I be something along the lines of "ZOWIE!"- Zealous Other Woman Intrepid Extraordinaire????

Yes, I think that suits me well.

Ciao.

Cheerful? Are you telling us all here that you changed your last name to the MM???

Tell me your joking?!?! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I am roaring!! LOL

Really... You're joking RIGHT?

I changed my last name to MY CHILD's (which happens to be MM's last name).

Yep.

Easier for school, doctors, travelling, Christmas cards, insurance, you name it. Makes MY LIFE easier having the same last name as my child.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier if you just had the child's last name remain the same as yours when the child was born.

It cost you $$$ change your name..change your DL# and all your identification? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I am sorry but I have strong suspicion (sp?) that you changed your name for other reasons?

I don't buy that line that it would be easier for you b/c of school registration... Xmas cards....

It's only obvious... if the excuse you are using... is just that ..an excuse. If you were sincere... then that child would have just had your last name..when the child was born.

I suppose you did not read my earlier post where I said my last name was difficult.

My last name used to be Fuchs. Although I am a nymphomaniac as my former last name implies, I did not want to pass this name on to my child. Besides, the poor thing would have been M.E. Fuchs or in certain records, Fuchs, M.E.

LOL.

You can clearly see why I did NOT give my child MY last name. Hopefully you understand why I finally changed my last name. For the record, I do still Fuch though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Back to the BC record...

We sent the state something with the birth cert. request. Can't remember if it was copy of DNA results or copy of court-ordered child support, but that STILL was the state's official response: get xow's permission!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

(clo, that name is so bad, I wonder if it's true. But truth IS weirder than fiction. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> )

Jenny,
I KNOW!!! I was thinking, "They're NEVER going to believe this!" when I posted it. I figured that I don't know any of you anyway, so what's the harm in posting it? It's not like my feelings will get hurt if someone on the internet doesn't believe I'm telling the truth, KWIM?

Like I said, If I were trying to upset MM & W, I would have made sure they found out about it. To my knowledge, they have no clue about my name change.

One More Thing-

Before anyone replies with a "funny", take into consideration that I held this name for 33 years. Try to make it one I've never heard before, Okay?
