Will my name automatically be changed as a result of getting a no fault divorce in Virginia?

If you want to revert to your maiden name after receiving your no fault divorce, this will not happen automatically in Virginia.  You must file for a name change with the Virginia court.  You can either file for a name change along with your no fault divorce and have both of the cases taken care of at the same time, or you can wait until after the divorce and file for a name change separately.
