Well legally your new husband is correct but why would you not want to stay connected to your nephew if he still referred to you as his aunt. Tell your husband to not be so politically correct. Does he want to damage whatever you two may have? He may in fact damage what he has in the process.

Technically your not his aunt any longer but if you've know this person and been his aunt all those years there's no reason for you to treat him any different, the child didn't do anything to cause you to push him away. Family is in the heart not in the blood or on a piece of paper.

Legally you are not his/her aunt. However there is no law against you maintaining a relationship with people you enjoy. My son calls a woman "aunt so and so" even if it is not his aunt and only his friends aunt. No harm in that as far as I can see. May I suggest you see these people when your jealous husband is not around.

There are aunts who are legal but never love. And their are aunts that are not legal but always love. It depends on the heart.
My question is what is happening in hubby's heart? This sounds like a touch issue for him where he might need alot of TLC.

Yes, you are unless a step aunt or uncle. If you are the biological sibling of his parents, you are definitely his aunt beyond a doubt. Biological children are not divorced from one family or another when their parents divorce.

You are no longer his aunt after getting the divorce. You have no legal connections with your xhusband family no matter how long you were married... I would still let him call you aunt if he wants to but legally you are not..

If you had a good relationship with the boy, why stop now? If he's always called you Aunt, then does he have to stop? I don't think so...

Obviously your care for your Nephew as a person. 20 years is a long time, it's your life do what you feel is right.

20 years is along time. i know from experience that it is hard on the ex to have you sticking around, so its better to respect. i would ask your ex first to at least show some respect. And how would you like it. by the way you look cute, what are you doing this weekend.
