In FL and many states your attorney will ask if you wish to return legally to your maiden name. Usually for a fee they will also acquire forms for IRS, SS, with documents you can then change banking, DL and credit cards. A return to maiden name is less complicated because of birth certificate, than a “I hate my name” change.
If you chose if wait, you can file at county, with form and birth certificate. Some counties require a visit to a judge for proceedings, and final decree. Fees can be under $500, for simple change, or additional court fees.
No attorney is needed, but if you need to change or get a will, (you should remove that spouse) they can also help, for small fee, two birds one stone.
Sometimes google does give you all alternatives.
