After a divorce, one of the former spouses may want to change their last name. In most cases, former spouses choose to change their name to their former name that they had before their divorce.

This process is often known as restoration of former name. While it’s typically done by the former wife, it can be done for either spouse. Changing the last name involves some minor legal complications that should be discussed with an experienced attorney.
