You will need to file a petition with the court to change your name. Is your divorce completed already? If you have not yet obtained a final judgment, you can amend your pleadings to include a request to restore your name to your maiden name.

Your boyfriend should retain an attorney to help him with this issue. He will want to file a motion for contempt against his ex. He may be able to recover his attorneys fees if he prevails. Many attorneys on here, including myself, offer free initial consultations.
