Maiden name on social security card = Legal name?

[Questions2020 0]

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of filing for a divorce right now, but I'm a bit confused on what I should do about the divorce document that asks if you want to resume using your maiden name. Basically, here's what happened. We got married back in my home country, changed my name to a hyphenated version after the marriage, the CR1 visa was issued in my maiden name because that was the name on my passport, same with my green card. My social security card also has my maiden name, my state ID, etc. I guess the only thing that has my changed name would be any documents from back home and maybe my foreign passport whenever I need to renew that, but every document I have in the US uses my maiden name.

 

Would it even make sense to file the divorce document where I switch back to using my old name considering that I never really stopped using it and as far as I know the only documents that have the new hyphenated name are all in a different country?
