I'm in Ohio, so not sure how similiar the laws are out in Pennsylvania but when I got divorced in 1998, I made sure that I told my Lawyer that I wanted to go back to my maiden name and it was spelled out in my divorce papers that my name was restored back to my maiden name. Make sure you see this in the divorce papers and I believe the judge even mentioned it in court, the day of my divorce. Great Luck to you.

It is not legally necessary.
If you keep your x's name, be careful that people don't get too accustomed to referring to you that way. If and when you get married in the future, people will still call you by that name out of habit. It will be offensive to your future husband.
Good luck!

Of course. Why would you want to stick with the name of the guy you have just got rid of?

You can keep whatever name you want just as long as you use it consistently. My mom kept her married name because all of us have it.
