Questions about copyright registrations and marriage

If a woman registers a copyright now, then gets married and changes her name later, will that affect the registered copyright?

Also, what happens if a woman gets a divorce after having filed copyright registrations with her married name?

I know you can file a supplementary registration to add your current name, but supplementary registrations cost more than twice the cost of a registration.

Is it necessary to file supplementary registrations in the event of a name change due to marriage or divorce? Would a court really say that a woman isn't the registered claimant because the original registration was say 10 years prior and she got married or divorced in the meantime?

If you do need to file supplementary registrations in the event of changing your name due to marriage or divorce, is the only way for a woman to not spend a ton of money on supplementary registrations to simply not be able to take a husband's name when she gets married?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'd love some insight from anyone who might have experience with this.
