NO NO NO. The will is still valid. If you want to exclude your wife (assuming your will makes her a beneficiary by name), you will need to execute another will. If you want to include her (assuming your will made her a beneficiary by class e.g., "my wife" with no name) you will need to execute another will.
Further, assuming you want to exclude her (and your divorce settlement and state law allow) as beneficiary from bank/broker accounts and life insurance, etc., you will need to change those beneficiary/POD designations as well.
Talk to your attorney. Not reviewing all these accounts and documents could be disastrous, especially if you remarry.

no you have to go to your lawyer and have it re-written otherwise it will stay the same and if you pass on that becomes a matter of record in your estate

I'm not an attorney but; I would have to say no. The will itself would have to be changed.

Not unless you actually change the Will itself.
