How to Change a Name After Divorce in Alberta
A divorce may often generate a great deal of paperwork. Fortunately, reverting back to your maiden name is a straightforward procedure. According to the government of Alberta, if you've taken your husband's name upon getting married, you may simply resume using your maiden name once you are divorced. The only actions you are required to take is to change your name on your Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. Alberta Health and Wellness offers a form for this purpose.
