/

An Alabama divorce does not automatically restore a former name. Check the signed Circuit Court decree—not just the state divorce certificate—for an order naming the former name. If the decree is silent or incorrect, ask the original court or an Alabama attorney about correction; a separate adult petition may instead be filed in the Probate Court for the county where you live. County requirements, fees, background checks, and translation rules differ.
