Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Resuming Maiden Name

Been divorced for 13 years, but kept my married name. Divorce decree in 1993 said I could resume using my maiden name. Can I just resume using it now, or do I have to do something more formal? If so, what? Thanks for your help.

Just start using it. You may need to show the divorce judgment in some instances so make sure you have a copy.
