My parents got divorced when I was three, and I ended up living with my mom from then on. Everyone knows me by my mom's last name instead of my dad's, because my mom notified every school I've been to about what I should be called, and since she paid for my schooling, they didn't have a problem. (My social security card has my dad's last name on it, and my passport has both.) I explained to people what my dad's last name is, but it's more difficult to pronounce and doesn't sound as good as my mom's last name, so I was continued to be known that way, and that was pretty much fine with me. I'm going to college in the fall, and my dad has told me over and over again that he wants me to start fresh and change my name. It would be a pretty strange change for me. I feel like my parents should have resolved the situation themselves. I don't know what to do.
