Yes, you can change your name back to your maiden name, but now you have to create a new lawsuit. Filing fees and attorney fees vary by county. Generally, it would be approximately $300 in filing fees and $500 in attorney fees, depending upon where you live. You have to establish that you are not avoiding creditors, or have a criminal history that prevents your name change.
