That is strictly a personal choice. It may be more convenient to do so if one plans to establish their own line of credit and other identifying matters.

The female can request to have her maiden name restored as part of the divorce proceedings. However, it is a simple matter to have legal documents (SS card, voter registration, etc.) changed after the divorce by simply filling out the required forms and presenting the divorce decree and the proper identification documents (driver's license, state ID, student ID, etc.)
