This question is complex and involves other individuals than just myself.
Thirty-one years ago, my mother met a man who we thought legally married her and who raised us three children and took the role as our stepfather. My mother has owned a business for the last 10 years. In 2005, we received information that this man (stepfather) was stealing from the business and my mother. Due to past events, my mother fled with the clothes on her back and filed for a divorce. Unknown at the time, the last 30 years were a fraud and there was never a legal marriage therefore any need for said divorce. In 1995, almost 15 years of already being together the man (assumed stepfather), decided to change his last name to my deceased fathers last name and has assumed identity as such since. In light of recent events and fraud by this man, we are fighting for him to lose such surname. No legal routes have been taken at any time for such a name change, nothing filed in any court nor publication as such. Additionally, after investigation on this man's history it has been revealed that he is a convicted felon with a colorful past and recent present. My mother after learning the extent of fraud that has been committed on her life, her business, and everything she has ever owned and worked for filed in civil court 14 counts of various fraud charges. She has been in court since October 2005 with said filings. Unfortunately, this man due to my mother's business earnings has many friends in high places. His best friend is the son on the head superior court where said filed court case is. We have an extreme amount of documentation of his actions and have informed agencies accordingly. Additionally, upon subpoena, we received the hard drive of the business computer and we were able to recover many other documents that support how deep his connections run and who is assisting his continued fraudulent actions.
Here is my question. In regards to use of my fathers last name. How can I get him to legally cease using my family name? I have tried through Social Security Administration and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Each accuses the other of providing him use of said last name without any supporting required documentation of such use through each agency. Additionally, the connections and even most recent actions of his ties to the powers it be, within the superior court where the case presides will not do anything to assist. Please provide any guidance and or suggestions in this matter.
Thank you so much in advance for your time in this matter.
