Marriage Name Use

10 years ago
OK.. hopefully I get an answer to this.. I was married to a colombiana years ago here in the USA who came here on a fiancee visa when we married she assumed my last name..now divorced.. Im at it again.. This time I am marrying in Medellin in November 2014.. How do they work as far as my wife using my last name ? I will marry with a notary.. I have all documents ready for appostile..Does the notary allow her to use my last name when we marry there? nobody seems to know.... does it work that way in Colombia.. when women marry there do they use the Husbands last name ? If not what do I have to do ?
