Having an identity crisis here....

Did you go back to your maiden name after the divorce? Here's my dilema.. my driver's license is still in my maiden name because i didn't have the paper trail to update it (and it's two marriages behind... still with my birth name).

My Social Security card has been a different story.. I've updated it each time I was married. So, many of you might remember that my girls lost my purse, they also lost my SSN card AND my last marriage cert.

Getting a new drivers' license was easy.. i just brought my birth certificate.. got my license with my maiden name... no big deal, or so i thought.

Now because of the new job, i need a copy of my SSN card but I lack the paper trail for my name... So, i have an opportunity to go back to my maiden name. Would you?

Originally, i was going to leave it as the married name because it would be a pain to change and because 2 of my 5 children have that last name... Now, i have to go through the trouble anyway......So, confused......

I go tomorrow to the court house so please respond tonight...

What would you do or did you do?

If I was you I would leave the whole mess alone until after the move!! Because that could add an extra degree of difficulty for approvals and stuff like that.

Wow - they sure are making it tough and all just because it is a while after the divorce? Sorry you had to go through that!!

When do you move? How is all that going?
