After 4 yrs of divorce how can I change mny name back to my maiden name?
go into social security admin, bring your divorce decree, your birth certificate, drivers license. Fill out a name change application Since I do not know what state you live in I will give you the answer I know to be true in NJ. I imagine it would be the same in all states but you would have to call your local county family court to find out for sure. You would have to file a motion to have your name changed back to your maiden name. Once that is filed, the judge would make a ruling and write an order for your name change.
