Married women can use their maiden name at any time they wish as long as the reason for doing so is for legal purposes.
What are "legal purposes?" You wish to open a bank account with your maiden name, apply for a credit card, file a will, etc. All of these things, save the filing of a will, most often use your SS# for your identification so no accusation of fraud or criminal activity can be levied against you.
Illegal purposes of using your maiden name when married include, but are certainly not limited to, evading debt collectors, tax evasion (i.e. attempting to file as single), to marry another person while already being married, etc.

∙ 14y agoIf the woman changed her name to that of her husband when they were married, her legal name is the same as her husband's. Separation does not legally change that. In order to go back to using her maiden name, she must petition the court to have it legally changed. The simple way to do this is to request her maiden name back in the divorce petition. It saves the cost and time of going through a separate legal process down the road.
Added: However - upon the granting of a divorce - if there are childrem of the marriage involved- the woman is always given the choice of whether she wishes to return to the use of her maiden name or continue to use her married name.

Mississippi Married Woman's Property Act of 1839?
America's first Married Women's Property Act was passed in Mississippi in 1839. This law (most of which dealt specifically with slaveholdings) guaranteed the right of married women to receive income from their property and protected it against being seized for their husbands' debts, but the law still left husbands in sole charge of buying, selling, or managing the property.
If you use your maiden name legally in all business matters can you inherit under your maiden name if a trust document uses your married name in Missouri?
Yes. The trustee may request a copy of your marriage license in order to document that your maiden name and your married name indicate one and the same person. The trustee may need that documention for their own file for verification that they distributed to the right person if you want her/him to make your distribution check payable to you under your maiden name. Also, if an inheritance is involved you may need to sign some sort of a release when distribution is made. You can sign by using your married name and add AKA (also known as) your maiden name. It's not a big problem and can be taken care of when distribution is made.
Can a divorced woman use both maiden and married name?
To prevent any misunderstanding or possibly getting in trouble with legal issues, I would think you need to use only one last name.Another PerspectiveThe answer to this question probably depends on where you live.I live in Ireland and when my wife and I married we both changed our names to include each other's birth surname. I was Tony Smith and she was Teresa Jones - we became Tony and Teresa Jones Smith. No form of officialdom seems to have had a probelm with this decision, except the revenue services - my tax form always arrives addressed to my birth nameI don't know if your question is about using your names in that way, or if you mean if my wife could have been Teresa Jones for some purposes and Teresa Smith for others, after she married.That would be like a singer or actress using their stage name - it's not illegal, to the best of my knowledge, but it might cause problems when dealing with officialdom, who prefer that records be standard.Another PerspectiveUsing both names would establish you as having an alias. Once any entity such as a lender or land records office discovered your using an alias you would gain the title of something like Teresa Jones AKA Teresa Smith. That would be recited on any legal documents. It is not a good idea to use two different names at the same time. The motives would, and should, be questioned.
If I were married 8 years ago and before you met your husband you purchased a house that you still live in if you get divorced what happens to the house It is in your name maiden only?
Assuming all legal issues work out so that you get the house, then before you got the house, it would be under your name. If you changed your last name to match your husbands, then the ownership of the house would be under your new name. Then you get divorced, you get the house, it's still right now under your new name unless you legally change your name back to your maiden name. The ownership name follows your name.

Your ex-wife was given the right to resume her name prior to her marriage. She can continue to use her former married name if she chooses.
If your mother owned land before she got married and it is willed to you does the husband have any rights to it?
It depends upon the state laws. In some states, husbands have something similar to a dower right called a courtesy right. Check with a probate attorney in the state in question.
