AND, you're allowed to retake your Maiden Name even if you are still married and have no plans to divorce through a new Name Change Petition.
The main form is the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and Waiver of Summons. You and your spouse will fill out and sign the petition. You must attach your signed settlement agreement, along with the other accompanying forms.
You have the option through the court to return to a maiden name or a former name, including one from a previous marriage, within 60 days after the final decree of divorce. Obtain a certified copy of this document, then update your name with Social Security, BMV, utilities, HR, etc.
How to change your name after divorce varies by jurisdiction, but in Ohio, the process is easy to request the divorce court judge to enter a formal order for a divorce name change. The request to return to your maiden or other legal name should be made inside the separation/divorce agreement.
If you divorce or dissolve a civil partnership you can simply go back to using your previous surname without having to officially record the change. If you were married you can simply let everyone know you are reverting to your previous name (such as a Birth name or maiden name).
You recently got married. You do not need court order if you are changing your last name to your new spouse's last name, or you are hyphenating your last name plus your spouse's last name. You can use a copy of your signed marriage certificate to update your name on documents like your ID and social security card.
It is possible to electronically file (“e-file”) certain divorce documents online in Ohio. However, you and your spouse need to physically appear in court for any divorce or dissolution in Ohio. Thus, you can get divorce paperwork online and submit some of it, but your divorce hearing will be in person.
