The only requirement to have your maiden name restored is to contact the necessary government agencies (Social Security, DMV, voter registration, etc.) fill out a simple form and present the divorce decree and personal identifying documents (driver's license/state ID).

You don't have to say anything when someone tells you they are changing back to their maiden name.

Can a woman change her marital name back to her maiden name before a divorce is finalized?
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.
