Name Changes
Name Changes
Maryland law provides its residents with a straightforward process to legally change their names. However, a legal name change does not give an individual a new identity and a name change cannot be performed with the intent to avoid debts or legal obligations. An individual seeking to change their name through the divorce process may only do so if they are restoring a former name.
