So Jolie - tell us how you really feel about your ex - you seem to be on the fence. LMAO

I kept my married name after my divorce because I wanted to and it was just easier. If I were to divorce now I would keep the last name that I've had for 40 years for the same reason. But let me tell you,my maiden name would be easier in both cases. Both my married names I had/have to spell to folks. My maiden name was Smith. LOL!

... but I'm *not* bitter .... LOL. Actually I was watching "Christmas Vacation" and that is the monologue in the Griswold livingroom when Clark got his "bonus". Always loved that ... not something you can casually drp in conversation.

I'm keeping my married named. I've had it for over half my life, and it's my children's last name.
It's a personal choice-good luck deciding.

I never did use my ex's last name but creditors still managed to link our names together long after (10 years) we were divorced.
Case in point: He ran out on an $800 utility bill years after we were divorced. Somehow the utility linked our names together and threatened to cut me off within 1 week if I didn't pay his old bill. At that time I had just been laid off. I never jumped through so many hoops in my life.
So the point is it doesn't matter what name you use. Creditors aren't dumb. Use whatever name you want.

From experience, and perhaps different states have different laws, but I know (in my case), for a fact that you can not be forced to go back to your madien name. It is legally your name. My Ex wanted me to change my name but I refused & he could not force me to no matter what he wanted written in the divorce decree. Now if he wanted to pay me to change my name then that would have been a whole new ballgame.
The kids and I did discuss changing names but it was an either all or none & since they never knew a different name we kept it. It used to annoy my EX to no end whenever he had to write a check to me...he would write it in my maiden name which I would send to my attorney who would send a copy to domestic relations & the check back to his lawyer to have the check written in my legal name. It happened 6 or 7 times until he was found in contempt of court, fined & threatened with jail time that it stopped.
Jolie...yea I double your sentiments.
Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

My description of my ex is quite simple...I used to worship the ground he slithered on. That says it all.
Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

I went back to my maiden name, I never cared for his name...

I want to keep my married name but have heard of credit horror stories if I did.
I love my husband but I can no longer cope with his brain injury. I do not have the skills, education or knowledge to cope myself, let alone him. It will only get worse.

Keep the name. Divorce decree's make it easier to deal with credit problems unless you sign for something. I would suggest putting a lock on your credit reports - it costs a fee but it can give you peace of mind. You can check on suzeorman.com for info on it. Hope that helps ease your mind.
