Many females choose to have their maiden name restored to them in a judgment of divorce. Since a woman may have this name change without cost and without filing a formal name change petition in the probate court, it's important to offer this opportunity.
A handy checklist -- perhaps something family lawyers will include with their file closing letter -- is found here. It lists all of the many places where the name chance needs to be made known. See Legal Name Change here.
Thank you so much for posting this. I am researching this topic and this is very helpful and informative.
