You would go through a process known as divorce.

The correct answer is:

US LAW ONLY!

You would follow the laws of the country where you are residing.

Your husband may file for divorce against you in the state where he lives. During the filing, he may enter a term indicating the use of your own last name. When you receive a decree after the divorce is final you will get to know that you can use your last name or to request name changes. PS: When you receive a summon during the initial stage, sign it quickly and return it back to him via express/overnight mail.

Are you on drugs?

Yes: caffeine and sugar.

After reading this post again, I come to the realization that the ONLY thing the OP has asked about is getting her old name back. Again, this is a site for US LAW ONLY. You will have to speak to somebody in YOUR country to find out your options.

And, I might add, use plenty of caffeine and sugar before doing so.
