Yes. In today's society, women are not legally required to take the name of their husband. The purpose behind the usage for most is simply to avoid confusion when undertaking such things as applying for joint credit, enrolling children in school, etc.

However, doing so, does not relieve the spouse from any financial and/or legal obligations she may have incurred during the marriage.

What if you spouse was not legally divorced when he married you?

No, i don't think so. Some paws would let you of, while others would prosecute you for bigamy. Divorce, like marriage, has to be filed, so no one gets into trouble or has the wrong surname. Jonsteph Actually if the divorce was never filed then techinically the two people who want to be divorced are still married. If you marry one of these people then it is illegal but it isn't your fault so I wouldn't worry.
