Everyone seems to be talking about the financial implications here.

A friend of mine told me his girlfriend was very upset with her adulterous parent when she found out the grounds for her parents divorce.

I think unreasonable behaviour is far less likely to have this effect.

Sometimes the wronged party wants to have the control.

It won't make any difference in my partner's situation, the children are all aware so there won't be any surprises in the long run.

Thanks for all your help on my first day to visit this forum.

No doubt I will be back

Quite possibly. But in my case given my ex got up and walked out on his kids to live with his new partner they are both well aware of the situation and personally I am not going to sepdnthe next 2 years being Mrs T unless I absolutely have to!

So will you change your name?

I did before I got divorced even though I have 3 children with my ex....just wasn't proud to be seen as his Mrs anymore even if it was only on paper.

Absolutely.
Seeing how he slandered and libeled me in court and has no respect for me. I certainly do not want his family name.
Have a Deed Poll form waiting for as soon as my DA comes through.

Interested in how you explained it to the children though.

You don't need to change your name by deed poll, you can legally call yourself whatever you like as long as it is not for fraudulent purposes. Just write to everyone enclosing a copy of your birth certificate and explain you wish to revert to your Maiden Name

I have changed my name by deed poll. This was required for several of the banks, the passport office, the land registry and the DVLA...
