N-400, Part 10, Section 8 asks for "Legal Name of My Current Spouse's Prior Spouse."

I'm the "Current Spouse" of the person applying for citizenship.

In my case, the legal name of my prior spouse could be any one of four unique names and still be correct: a) Maiden name; b) Name before we married (since she had been married already); c) Name (my name) at time we divorced; d) Current name (from her latest hubby).

Which of these will avoid problems.

Thanks,

DJ

It would be the legal name when that person was your spouse, so "c" would be the right choice provided she changed her last name to your last name after marriage. Nobody is required to keep track of ex spouse's latest husband/s, so don't worry about "d".
