Name change after divorce issue

My fiance got divorced. Her passport and all other identification documents has her last name as her maiden name. Basically she did not go through the name change process on any of the identification documents.

But her divorce decree contains her maiden name as well as her last name of her prior husband. It goes like this:

(First Name of my fiance) (Last name of my fiance when married) nee (Last name of my fiance prior to marriage)

The word "nee" according to google means the following: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=define%3A%20nee

I was wondering if we are going to have any issues since her name in all the identification documents is how we want it to be but her divorce decree contains in a way both her name when married and her maiden name.

Also, when filling out "other names used" in the forms: will we have to specify her last name when married to her previous husband or we can just omit that since her identification documents never went any changes except the fact that her divorce decree contains it in the format specified below:

(First Name of my fiance) (Last name of my fiance when married) nee (Last name of my fiance prior to marriage)

Any help in figuring out if we are on the safe side regarding this issue will instill us with more confidence.

Thanks

The divorce decrees describes the use of a different last name (obviously she changed names with the marriage certificate). So yes list that other last name in that section.

As of Dec 7, 2009, now Zero miles apart (literally)!
