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.

∙ 13y agoYes it can. I know this for a fact. When I divorced my first wife I requested that her last name would revert back to her maiden name. The judge had no problems with it even though she didn't want to change it.
Of course, it depends on your jurisdiction, but most states have statutory provisions that allow a woman to resume her maiden name after a divorce and a judge has the power to order a name change upon a reasonable request from the husband.

The custody issue should have been addressed in the divorce proceeding. You cannot reopen that case immediately since the court will be reviewing the same evidence.
