Advice from Amy Dickinson.
: I have two children, ages 5 and 10. I have been a single mother for the past four years after a decade of abuse from their father and a resulting restraining order. The court awarded me sole custody of the children.I’m ready to move forward with changing their last names to my surname because I am their mother and sole caregiver.
