Divorce

Can I keep my married name when I divorce?

Generally, when a woman divorces, she is given the option to go back to her maiden name but she is not forced to do so. Here is a link I found that discusses this general theory although I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information contained in it: http://info.legalzoom.com/can-divorced-woman-keep-her-husbands-last-name…

Also, since I am not specifically familiar with STATE laws, perhaps it may be possible that PA has some different law that deals with this – I do not know. You may want to meet with a STATE divorce lawyer to get advice on this to be sure that there is no STATE law that addresses this that may cause problems for you to keep your name - here is a link for lawyers, free and paid:LINK Here too is some general information on divorce in case that is useful:LINK
