First time post here. And this is my first ever "Legal Advice" need. so here goes.
I grew up with my grandparents(father side) I have been with them since I was a month old. My parents were in touch via calls and texts and every summer my grandparents would make me visit them in the province. So I practically grew up with my grandparents as my parents and I've never been close to my "real family". From financial support to moral and emotional, everything i needed was provided by my grandparents. They treated me like their own. Recently, or rather a few years back, I found out that my real parents are swindlers and con people. They've been doing pretty bad stuff ever since. But that's not the issue.
Is there any way that I can not use my mother's name on my name? Cause having her name (or even that initial only) is such a disgrace to me. I don't want to be their daughter. though the family name im using is same as my grandparent's, I still don't want to have or use her middle name. So can I just drop it? Or what do I have to do to be able to not use it? Like hearings and stuff? or like papers to be signed? HELP!
