No it is not legal to keep your ex-husband's name. You can dump his name with him or keep it if you want to. The choice is entirely your's. 37 Likes |

saphiere: If your divorced husband's name is on your official documents you can of course use it. It could be on your certificates for instance, or drivers license etc, if you got them while married. I would suggest you legally revert to your maiden name however, and have your ex-husband name bearing documents changed or affidavit supported to show they belong to new named you. Since the purpose of a divorce is to excise him from you, what's the point of still being chained to his name? 118 Likes 7 Shares |

saphiere: I do not think the title means much, though the use of Mrs gives the impression of marriage, which is not true if you are divorced. If you use Mrs it will be assumed by some that your husband is Mr maiden name, is all. Here is an explanation in detail. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

saphiere: You can simply be addressed as madam. Once a Mrs, cannot be a Miss. If children are involved, I think she can keep the name if she wishes to. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Whether or not you want to keep your married name or go back to using your maiden name after divorce, its up to you. You can simply keep using it if you do wish to keep your married name. You may wish to consider whether to change your title following divorce to ms or miss rather that mrs but again this is a personal choice. 4 Likes 1 Share |

saphiere: You stop using Mrs but can use Miss(for single unmarried woman) or Ms(for woman whose marital status is unclear). Once you legally change your name from his. It doesn't matter, the choice is entirely yours. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Kondomatic: Yes ke, because they know any small thing, you will want to collect your name back. So why not leave them with their father’s name that remains a constant. You can’t change your father, but you can change husband. Imagine as Stella Damasus for done do change of name if she was actually changing names officially. This is one place I like Islam. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

saphiere:It is not compulsory some of them choose to add it or not even bother at all.A woman is considered her father's daughter even after marriage.Change of name is not compulsory anywhere it is just a norm and people would love to be seen as a family unit and won't want to have different surnames so that it won't be complicated for them when it comes to doing official things together. 5 Likes |
