maiden Name

[Humtum 0]

My wife's last name is changed after the marriage . Now her last name matches my last name. What is maiden name and what's family name in this case?

maiden Name : Changed name after marriage

Family name : Last name she has before marriage or what?

You have it backwards. Maiden name is the name before marriage and family name is your common last name.

[YuAndDan 153]

Maiden name is name from before marriage, on forms this would be "Other Names Used"

Family name, is YOUR name, is name after marriage.
