Tennessee allows a spouse, in conjunction with a divorce, who has changed his or her name for the marriage, to change his or her name to either the birth surname or maiden name, the surname of a prior deceased husband or the surname of a prior living husband if you have children who have that husband's surname. The court will issue an order at the time of the divorce granting your request for a name change. There is no additional cost for this name change if it is done at the same time as the divorce. Should you decide after the divorce that you want such a name change, you must present a separate petition to the Court.
