are any of you Woman going back to your maiden name?



If you want your maiden name "back" after the divorce, you'd have to bring it up at court to ask the judge for the "ok". There's usually no problem, where the judge will have no problem with granting you to have your maiden name back. I got my maiden name back after my 1st marriage. I had a few female relatives that was granted them to have their maiden name back with no problem. They had kids, but I didn't.




If you are not divorced yet, you can ask your attorney to include a clause which states your maiden name is to be restored.





Once you are divorced, you need to get a new driver's license, social security card and notify your creditors of the name change.





If you are already divorced, legally you can't use your maiden name unless you change it through the court system




When I got divorced I took my maiden name back as fast as I could. In the united states you can not legally use it without a legal name change. You can get the name change for free if it is filed with the divorce papers. They wouldn't let me use my maiden name until I actually had the court papers in hand. I couldn't change anything after court I had to wait for the papers.




Not legally but yes for emails, friends, etc. I can call myself anything I want as long as it's something not being recorded or used for legal documentation like health insurance, paychecks, etc. That all has to be under your legal name. I don't know how it varies State to State but where I live you have to petition to be given your maiden name back & your husband has to agree to that in the divorce. Once agreed that you can have your name back, you just legally change it again just like you did when you got married.




I took my maiden name back when I signed the divorce papers. It was free if you do it at the time you fill out the decree. Otherwise you have to go back through Court and pay fees to get your name back. Once you have the decree finalized you have to re-apply for everything to put your maiden back on everything. DL, SS etc.




I think you can - but it is different for every country/state.





My mother just made a statutory declaration in front of a Justice of the Peace (who sited original documents with her maiden name on it) declaring that she wanted to be known by her maiden name.




YOU CAN ON EVERYTHING BUT NOT YOUR SS CARD OR YOUR DL
