I want to go back to my maiden name, even though I'm married. Is that possible?

It is still quite common for a woman to change her surname at the time of marriage to include her husband's surname. And if, over time, she regrets this decision, can she undo the change while remaining married?



In a trial at first instance, in the Campos Novos district court, the plaintiff's request to return to her maiden name, even though she was still married, was denied. The plaintiff, dissatisfied, appealed to the court, which modified the sentence to recognize the possibility of her returning to her maiden name, even during the marriage.
