Do most women keep their married last name after they divorce if they have kids?

I see this happen a lot. They want to keep the same last name as their children. I assume they get change their last name if they remarry though?

Yall know of anyone who has done this? If so, does the ex-husband mind? What about the new woman does she mind?

My exwife did. Few others I know did to.


What's the point of this thread? A poll?

Yes, her reasoning is she doesn't have the time to change her last name on every legal aspect

I have a coworker who kept her husband's last name just so their daughter wouldn't have a different last name from her.

They were only married 6 months and her husband cheated on her with half of Texas, so I found it puzzling she would want to even keep his last name.

my ex wife kept my last name even after she re-married.

claims it's too much work to change all her documentation and banking info.

But i think it's because deep down she still wants me.

Trashy. You got a divorce for a reason, why keep his last name?

I know one that was married and divorced twice. After the second divorce, she changed it back to her first married name. It struck me as strange.

this might be a viable reason as well. I know how much of a pain it is to explain different last names

I changed mine back (no kids), but I understand keeping it. It's a serious pain in the arse to change it on everything.

I don't see why this is so difficult for some of you to understand.

If a person were to build up a career or maybe something with name recognition like in politics or become well known in their community, I could see why they wouldn't want to change their name back

Probably because it's just a name. You more than likely want to start a new life, hence why you got divorced. Why keep the name? Just move on with a clean slate.

My ex did and it bugs me because she really only has a right to that last name because she married me. Now that the marriage is over I sort of wish she would go back to her maiden name...

I've known women who kept it for that reason alone: to piss off their exes & any future wives. Petty AF.

I knew someone who was a Tv news reporter who had to get authorization from her employer to change her name when she remarried. It was in her contract.
