In order to change your name on your Social Security card in Kentucky, you will need your divorce decree or a certified copy and your marriage certificate or a certified copy. Or, you can ask that your name be changed back to your maiden name during the divorce, which will be written into the divorce, and take that to the Social Security office.
After your name is changed on your Social Security card, you can get your license in that name. The name on the drivers license has to match the one that is on the Social Security card.
State laws can vary, but it is highly likely that these are the requirements in other states, too.
Same as anywhere. Show your divorce papers to the Social Security office and get a new card. Then go to the DMV and do the same thing. Notify your utilities provider, your bank, etc.
That's it.
You should visit your local family court and inquire about filing a petition for a name change. You could also check your divorce file to see if you were given that right at the time of the divorce.

You can change your name back to your maiden name legally as a part of the divorce decree. If you would like to change your name back while the divorce is pending, you must go through a legal name change procedure.
The maiden name come 1st. For example. Mellissa Anne Jones marries Peter Smith. She changes her name to Mellissa Anne Jones-Smith. In my case i have my mothers maiden name thru my parents divorce
Yes. Since a woman is not legally required to take her husband's name when they marry, she certainly isn't obligated to keep his name when they divorce. And, even though the divorce isn't yet final, you can still change your name back to your maiden name as long as you can afford the legal fees. In most jurisdictions you can request the right to resume your former name as part of the divorce proceeding. If possible, that right will be stated on the decree. That avoids unnecessary name change filings and expense.
Because after marriage or divorce people make the decision to give up or take back their maiden name.
Unless you are dating a married woman, her last name is usually her maiden name. There are some exceptions to this, such as women that kept their husband's last name after a divorce. The best thing to do is to ask her directly.
When I divorced my ex I took my maiden name back. All I had to do is when file for divorce tell them you want the other name. When you go to court the judge might ask you why.. I told them I am not married to him after the divorce and feel I should not have to carry his name. The judge granted me my maiden name back. Good luck
