Generally, no. If you wish to keep your married name, return to your name immediately preceding this marriage, or return to your maiden name, the choice is yours and yours alone.

If you marry, you do not have to take your new husband's last name. If you do take his last name and later divorce, you can keep that last name if you prefer. For example, my last name, Mitchell, was my first husband's last name. I have since remarried and divorced again, but chose to keep Mitchell as my last name.

Yes, you can keep your ex-husband's last name. You do not have to change your name when you remarry, although that is customary.
