Now that my ex is getting remarried, I am seriously wishing I had changed my name back at the time of our divorce. We do not have children, but I chose to keep his name because essentially my entire professional career was as that person. But now that there will be another Mrs. ______ I really just don't want his name anymore! Does anyone have experience changing your name AFTER the fact? I know I will have to pay some legal fees, etc... that would have just been taken care of as part of the divorce if I had done it that way. I'm not sure if I need to contact a lawyer, how much it would cost, etc...? Does the process vary by state? By county? Any advice is appreciated.

Hey Sandy.... I have no idea, but you might call the court clerk and ask there first.
