Can I Change My User Name (email Address) As Well As My Password?

My ex-husband took my laptop. He knows my user name (email address) and even if I change my password, he knows the answers to my secret questions so if I could change my user (email account) name, then he wouldn't be able to get into my FB account. The email address below is my mother's because I do not have my laptop back yet and I want to get him out of my FB.

I don't believe you can change your user name without setting up an entirely new account. (Otherwise there is no point, everyone would still try to send to the old account anyway.) You may be able to change your security questions after you change your password though. If you cannot, my suggestion is to add all your contacts to the new account and send out one mass e-mail letting everyone know you are changing your account.
