Re: Name change
Once a divorce decree is entered in Pennsylvania, the election to resume a maiden name is simple. One must file an affidavit that is sworn before a notary setting forth the intention to resume the maiden name. You might want to get the assistence of an attorney to facilitate this matter. The cost should be minimal. If I help please contact me at 215-579-9390. A copy of the divorce decree is necessary for me to review.
