How Do I Change My Name Back After a Divorce?

You may include a request to change your name in your divorce complaint. The name change can be included in the divorce judgment. You cannot change your name to any name in this process – you may only resume your maiden name. You may also resume a former marital name under certain circumstances. In the alternative, you may make a request to resume a former name after the divorce has been entered by filing the appropriate application with the clerk, and paying a fee.
