After your divorce, you will have to make a choice about changing your name. The name change decision is a very personal one - whether to change your name back to your maiden name (if you changed your name when you got married) or you choose to keep your ex-husband's name. If you are considering changing your name, it may make sense to do so before going through all of the required administrative changes in your life (e.g., changing names on bills, insurance coverage, wills).
