Just separated after 21 years not married no contract two kids am I entitled to anything?

If you have married and want to change to your new spouse's surname, then you should be able to use your marriage certificate to formally alter your passport or driving licence, and then use that new photo ID to change everything else like bank accounts etc.

If you are changing to another surname, then you will need a Change of Name Deed. This can either be prepared by a solicitor, or there are free precedents available online. However, you will still need to sign it in front of a solicitor, and they will normally charge a small, fixed fee for this service.

I hope you find this useful.

Is an official Deed Poll needed to double barrel a surname, especially on important documentation?

Without knowing the background to how the order was sent to court, this is hard to answer.

Consent orders are often signed by both parties, but there is no need for this where the terms have been negotiated and agreed, especially if this was done through solicitors.

The court would usually expect there to be some sort of evidence that there was an agreement before approving a consent order and provided they had that, the order would still be binding on the parties.

If you are concerned that the order does not actually reflect any agreement that was made, then iti is important that you get good legal advice about whether it can be appealed or set aside, as soon as possible. The longer it is left, the more difficult it will be to persuade the court that anything is wrong.

Why would a consent order be granted by the courts when only one party had signed by mistake and is the consent order still legally binding?
