NAME CHANGE AFTER DIVORCE

Does anyone know the law or procedure about changing your name after a divorce. To make a long story short, I just found out that my fiance`s ex wife still goes by his last name. They have been divorced for over 3 years. This is not something that is automatically done when you get a divorce? I know I shouldn`t let it bother me, but still aggravating. Can she just keep his name forever? To make the situation even stranger she has a serous boyfriend with whom she has a kid. Does anyone know anything about this, or have any advice?
Thanks in advance.

I am having a different situation then you.. When my divorce was finalized I did not know it had happened until I received the Final Documentation. In other words nobody bothered to tell me day and time the hearing was going to be. Anyway even though I have 2 children I am wanting to change my name and need to know how to go about doing that. I want no part of my ex`s name or anything associating me to him except for my children. If you have any solutions I would be glad to hear them. Thank you
