Your spouse doesn't have to be responsive. Did he file a response if not finish with default. If he did schedule the conferences and trial. What it really sounds is that you are lost and really need an attorney. You can't get name back until order final order is done.

When you're at the stage of completing your judgment, include in your order your maiden name restoration. Please note that at any time even now you can use your maiden name.
