Changing my last name in New York.
I'm getting married but I'm not sure I want to take my future husband's last name.
But... I'd LOVE to not have MY last name anymore. (Our last names are very similar)
I'd like a completely seperate last name that I might be willing to hyphenate with his last name.
I've read the guidelines on changing your last name once married but as far as I understand it only says a woman can take the guy's last name or he can take hers or you can hyphenate/use a combination of the two.
What are my options and what is the best way to go about it? Will I have to hire a lawyer? About how much would it cost in legal fees to go through this process?
I'm on Long Island so if you people think I need a lawyer - I'll gladly accept recommendations.
