Is Name Change Enforceable In Divorce Decree? [california]
Location: California
My parents divorced and in the mitigation my father demanded that my mother revert to her maiden name. My mother agreed to it because she wanted to just be done with the divorce. The divorce decree states that she will change her name back to her maiden name and will no longer use my father's last name. There was no timeline set in the decree. Several months have passed and she has not yet made the name change (she's anxious about how it could affect her retirement plans, idk). Now his lawyer is sending threatening letters saying that if she doesn't provide proof of name change, he will take her to court and force her to pay his lawyer fees. what is the likely outcome if he takes her to court? I'm reading a lot of conflicting information online saying courts can't force name changes vs it's in a divorce decree that she agreed to so it's legally binding vs there's no set timeline so its unenforceable - not sure what to believe. thank you in advance.
