To revert to her maiden name after a divorce, a woman typically needs to include the name change request in her divorce proceedings. If the divorce decree allows it, she can use that document as proof to update her name on legal documents such as her driver's license, Social Security card, and bank accounts. If she didn’t request the name change during the divorce, she may need to file a separate petition with the court to officially change her name. It's advisable to check specific state laws and requirements, as procedures can vary.
