How do I change my name back to my maiden name if the final decree does not address it?

Full question:

I am recently divorced (March 5, 2007). All of my paperwork up to my final decree states that I will be assuming my maiden name back, but my lawyer somehow forgot to put it into the final decree paperwork. The court said that I can file a nunc pro tunc to get this corrected. Is there a form to do this?

Answer:

Please see the information and form at the following links:

FAQs

After the final divorce decree is filed, the terms of the divorce become legally binding. This includes decisions about property division, child custody, and support. Both parties must comply with the terms set forth in the decree. If either party fails to do so, the other may seek enforcement through the court.
