name from previous marriage

[irosha]

hi could you pls clarify this for me - i was previously married briefly and have a child from that marriage who is included in my application. i use my maiden surname now in all official documents and all my educational certificates and passport carry that name . however , in my child's birth certificate my name has been entered with both my maiden name and my then husbands last name together.
what documents will i need to submit to clarify this? ( no legal name change was done and the child's birth certificate is the only document that uses both names ) will my previous marriage certificate and subsequent divorce certificate suffice ? or will i need a notarized affidavit ?
thanks in advance !

I think both the marriage and divorce certificates will do but having a notarized affidavit will ensure you are on safer side. An LOE mentioning the same would be supportive
