    Did you revert to your maiden name after you separated?

    Just wondering what the go is with this...

    Did you revert to your maiden name after you separated? Or after you divorced?
    If so, how long after did you change your name back?

    Thanks

    When I got divorced I didn't but I didn't change my name to begin with so that's probably not much help to you. However, when my mum and dad divorced, mum kept her married name so that hers was the same as mine until she got remarried, which was about 5 years ago.

    Oh, so sorry you are going through this .

    My parents divorced when I was 3 years old, my mum kept her married name so that we shared the same surname (she raised the three of us all by herself). She remarried when I was 13 and changed her surname then.

    Re: Did you revert to your maiden name after you separated?

    Yes when ex-husband and I separated I changed my name back to my maiden name. We didn't have any kids together so I saw no point at all in keeping his name. I didn't wait for the divorce to go through. I used my birth certificate to change my drivers licence back and then changed everything else. Now I am remarried I have changed my name to DH's.
