You can use either Miss or Ms. The difference is as follows: If you use Miss, you will be indirectly stating "I am not married", since Miss may only be used for unmarried females. Many women feel that their marital status is nobody's business but their own, and so choose not to use this.

By similar reasoning, married women can choose between either Mrs (which indicates "I am a married female") and Ms (which merely indicates "I am female").
If this isn't sufficient to stop you from feeling married, your best option is divorce.

You don't.
I don't know the rules in other jurisdictions on Earth, but in Britain, it is *** compulsory for women to change their surname on getting married. Certainly, some women choose not to change it.
