In re the Marriage of Boyle ( 1977 )

JOHNSON, J.

Appellants’ petitions for dissolution of marriage included requests to restore their maiden names. The trial court decreed dissolution, but erroneously denied the requests for name change.

ORS 107.105(l)(g) is explicit:

"(1) Whenever the court grants a decree of annulment or dissolution of marriage or of separation, it has power further to decree as follows:

‡ ‡ ‡ ‡

"(g) To change the name of either spouse to a name the spouse held before the marriage. The court must decree a change if it is requested(Emphasis supplied.)

Affirmed as modified. No costs.
