Re: Name change
In Louisiana, a woman does not "legally" take her husband's last name, so technically you can start using your maiden name without anything else. Unfortunately, you probably changed the name on your SS account and other and various legal documents. In order to change those things to your maiden name, you will need to file a name change Petition.
