Well for a traditional couple, the woman literally walks in to the DMV and says I'm going to be "XYZ" now and it's done. No extra cost. The court order is the marriage license itself. They wave a magic wand and her last name is now "XYZ". Because we want to hyphenate and have the same last name, one of us now (me because of the order) has to go pay hundreds of dollars and spend hours to do so. If it is so easy to hyphenate for one to be Smith-Jones and are able to do so with the push of a button, why is the order of it such a problem. Her new last name would be Smith-Jones (and for the poster above, our names are much more interesting than that) and mine could only ever be Jones-Smith unless I pay money for some judge to tell me that ok.

Was there a turkey baster involved?

It might be difficult to get a passport now, since the name on the birth certificate, SS card and drivers license will all be different.
Because she was questioning the legality of what she was being told by the DMV, which, if you read the thread, was wrong.RAB87 said:
"Legal Question". Strange thread title. I'm fine with girls who like girls, but why the hell do you think that entitles you to special rights? It's a sexual preference not a disability.

Post this on the politics board. Lots of good Ags will have advice for you.

I knew that couldn't be the right answer. I was hoping someone here could help us out. I didn't know if there was some law on the books that said you had to put the hyphenated names in a certain order. I had never seen anything like that. I knew what the guy was telling me didn't sound right, but instead of causing a scene or even asking to speak to a supervisor, I just quietly walked away. But because I posted it on TexAgs, some people on here seemed to think I wanted to call TV stations and play the gay card. I just wanted someone to explain it to me. We happened to get the correct answer at the window my wife was being assisted at. The woman was helpful and actually seemed to know her job.
The most offense I took to anything yesterday was being called a liberal. I take great offense to that. I'm actually a gun-totin', beer-drinkin', Texan-lovin', Hillary-hatin' girl. But it is really to denigrate people you don't know on a message board. I know that is the General Board way, but damn people. I was just looking for help. I know where not to go next time. I was hoping Aggies could assist me.
