Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

I got married 3 months ago and would like to change my last name. My immigration lawyer told me this would be a case for a civil lawyer. My paperwork is still with the lawyer (my visa has expired and right now i am without status. I can't apply for a new ID either because of that) So i need to know wether it's possible to take my husbands last name, even though i am technically in an overstay. ICE already has me on their radar due to a different incident but lifted the hold on me for now. I live in Florida.

If you are legally married and female, you can change your last name to that of your husband without the need for a lawyer. Isn't this common sense?
