You just have to file for a name change with the circuit court clerks office, they require a reason for the name change, and divorce is more than an ample reason to return to your maiden name. I went through the same thing with my divorce. Just had to pay a filing fee. Good luck to you. Its not too late. You can always change your name. Just go to your local social security office to change your name.
