[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the women who think that if you don't change your name, or have the same last name as a family -- that you will encounter major logistical hassles, etc. - do you have any evidence to support this?

I have traveled A LOT with my kids, having lived overseas most of their lives, and have literally never had a bureaucratic or logitical issue. I can't recall any time I've literally ever had an issue (other than people calling me Mrs Kidslastname, which I don't care about) at all in fact. I have three teenagers and a younger child, and have traveled a LOT overseas, so have had ample oppotunities.[/quote]

Same situation and I think it will only get easier as more and more women do not change their name. That being said, I had one incident when I was living abroad in Europe and traveling to the uk with my two kids with a different last name. The immigration agent was being purposefully (in my opinion) difficult, and I had to go to the special waiting area while they double checked my documents. Asia is no problem because Chinese and Korean women keep their surnames, so the other countries are used to this. And most of Europe as well because of several countries like Spain and France. I think the uk agent just had a bug up his arse. [/quote]
