More details to this question:
Just got married in October 2021 & will be filing for divorce January 2022. Marriage certificate shows "married" name: drivers license & social security information never changed to married name. Will be signing will & trust before divorce is filed.

You need to use your legal name, which is your married name. Just be sure to leave nothing for your current husband, by naming him by his legal name.
