More details to this question:
I just got engaged and would like to maintain my maiden name for professional purposes and take his name for all other/personal purposes. Is there a way to legally use either name? I live in Michigan. (Sorry, I didn't know which legal topic this would fall into.)

Although I am not specifically familiar with Michigan law, in general you can use any name you want, as long as you are not using a different name for fraudulent purposes, such as to avoid your creditors.
