When a couple gets married today, very often the female changes her name to that of her husband’s. For those women who do so, it is not a difficult decision. What can be difficult though is what happens if they divorce?
Once you have been married for many years, it may seem impossible to go back to your maiden name if the marriage ends. On one hand, everyone knows you with your married name, and on the other hand, you could feel totally free of the marriage by removing his name. Although changing your name is a fairly straightforward process, before you do so, consider the impact it may have on your career and your children.
