Divorce and the last name.

If a couple gets divorced, should the wife be forced to go back to her maiden name? Why would she want to keep her ex-husbands last name anyhow? I think some keep it for simplicity and others because they still have feelings for their ex. Do they keep his name for their childrens sake? I'm just curious.

I kept mine for simplicity (children/business etc) When I remarried I took DH's name.

DH's ex had his last name for years, but also changed it when she got remarried.

Not a big deal in either case, and it had absolutely nothing to do with feelings for the ex.

I would keep my current last name because it flows so well with my first name... Kwillia Kwickenhopper has a certain ring to it. :coffee:

I'm keeping mine for several reasons.

1. Simplicity.
2. I like my married name better than my maiden name as a last name.
3. I've already dropped my given middle name for my maiden name.
4. I want the same last name as my children.

I will always have a bond with my ex-DH, but I don't feel keeping his name has anything to do with that.
