Re: use offormer husbands sir name after remarring
A divorced remarried woman can legally continue using her divorced husband's surname, in any way and on any type of document she might have formerly used "her" surname.
Usually, a divorce Judgment specifies that the parties "MAY" resume use their former surname or any other name ....
But, "May" DOES NOT mean that a divorced person must use any particular (former or subsequent) surname, the person may be entitled to use.
Additionally, please be note that a woman IS NOT required to use (or be known by) her husband's, surname, if that is not her personal choice.
Good luck,
