Name Changes and Document Updates After Marriage

There are two ways to change your name after you get married. For the common usage method, make sure that your new name is on your marriage certificate, get a new driver's license and social security card, and update existing records. The other method is to get a court order and update your records.

Ask a Lawyer: How Can a Snowstorm Impact Parenting Time?

I share joint custody with my ex-husband. My 11 year old daughter lives with me primarily and is with her father every other weekend. His scheduled visitation with my daughter was for this past weekend, but we had an awful snow storm and I didn't feel it safe for her to go with him due to the fact he wanted to take her several hours away to visit our other daughter. Before this he has never had issues with swapping weekends with me if he wanted to or I wanted to. What are my rights?
