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.

You do not have to take back your name in a divorce. It is your legal name and will only be changed back if you request it to be done.

It takes a court order to change your name. Most women ensure it is a part of the divorce settlement.

How do you prove your husband and you were still married at his time of death?

If you have a marriage certificate, that is your proof. If someone is contesting this, it is up to them to produce divorce documents. Even if you were in the process of getting a divorce at the husband's time of death, if there was no divorce decree, there was not yet a divorce.

If your marriage was not legal because your husband was still married (in which care your husband committed the crime of bigamy), then you can simply go back to using your maiden name (you can't get divorced as you were never legally married).
