Wisconsin has no statutory provision specifically addressing a spouse’s ability to legally change her name after legal separation. Wis. Stat. Sec. 767.395 states that the court shall allow either spouse to change his/her name after granting a divorce. A person may also formally petition to have a name change pursuant to Wis. Stat. Sec. 876.36.
