No. The term in-law of course means related by law or in that case marriage. So if you are no longer married then they are no long in-laws.

The answer comes from the term itself, "in law." The family relationship is developed by law when you got married, hence the term mother-in-law, etc., but when you sever the relationship by law by divorce, the relationship by law no longer exists. So, the answer is NO, they are no longer your "in-laws" but they are still friends maybe.

When Plaintif and I got divorced my late brother-in-law said to me "You will always be my brother-in-law." I greatly appreciated that. And when my son got married all of the litigants side of the family showed up at the wedding, and true to his word my brother-in-law acted as though he was very happy to see me again. So, I guess the answer to your question from my experience is that it totally depends on how close you were to your in-laws before the split. One thing is probably certain, if they didn't like you before you divorced they sure as hell won't like you after.

Didn't strokes for different folks. I am still very, very close with all of my ex-in-laws. The only one I have difficulty with now and then is my ex-husband. The rest of his family say that I divorced him, not his family.

No. If you get on with them then don't cut them off just because you divorce.

Nope, because you were only related to them by marriage.
