Using maiden name

[gwentennant]

I am married and I also own a business. When conducting business, i choose to use my maiden name, is this legal in Canada?

1) Can I go back to my maiden name, after being divorced a few years?

2) Will their be a cost associated?

3) Is it legal to use my maiden name at times.

It depends what province you are in, as this is something that varies from province to province. In my province, you can legally use your maiden name anytime you wish, and do not need to pay any fee. It is legal to use either your maiden or married name anytime you wish, as long as it would not be fraudulent or misleading to anyone. But, you would need to check with vital statistics or name registrations law for the province you live in.
