You may resume a maiden name as part of your complaint for divorce if you are the Petitioner in the divorce action or you may pursue it as a separate action once you have a divorce judgment. You will need the appropriate forms, a valid photo ID and the filing fee. All other types of name changes are more complex, require extensive supporting documentation and typically necessitate the assistance of legal counsel.
