Tips for Changing Your Name After a Divorce
Did you recently change your name as part of your divorce? If so, it's time to get it updated everywhere.
First Steps to Changing Your Name After a Divorce

Your social security number will not change - just the name associated with your social security number.

The IRS is automatically notified when you update your information with the social security administration.
