Is it acceptable to seperate someone's name for example, If I was writing a person's name, could I write it like this........ . Joseph
Richardson . Would it be acceptaple to seperate the first name from the last name or must they both names appear on the same line?

I learned - way back in the day - that you're supposed to keep the name on one line. But I don't see the newspapers or magazines abiding by it any more, so I don't see any problem in separating them.
You should keep things like "Mr. Smith", "Dr. Johnson" or
"Ms. Jones" on the same line, however.

I believe the name is suppose to be on the same line unless you are using it in a sentence. However there have been times when addressing envelopes and first names were so long I had to put their last name on a second line. I hope this helps.

I hate it when that happens but it is acceptable for the names to appear on 2 lines.

If a line break occurs there, it's not a problem. But youshould not seperate it by creating a newline for that purpose.

It should appear on the same line,Joseph Richardson,seems if it
is on two different lines it looks like two different people.

I don't think it really matters, as long as it's capitalized like that.
