 In Michigan, once a judgment of divorce is granted, the woman may choose to have her maiden name restored to her or seek the use of a legal name she bore prior to her marriage to the husband in the Michigan divorce action. This can be done without having to pay any additional cost or filing a new petition in the probate court. But if she chooses to adopt another surname, the Court may grant such as long as the name change is not sought with any fraudulent or evil intent. The latter situation however, becomes more complicated if the petitioner has a criminal record. Because the court would presume that the motive for a name change has a fraudulent intent, the burden of proof shifts to the petitioner to rebut the presumption. Anyone facing the dire need for a name change should call or visit Your Michigan Family Law Lawyer for assistance and consultation.
