No way when you Divorce it's over. I don't know if you have Kid's or not? But if you do, you will still see the x's family from time to time.. But as far as it go's for you I feel you are not related. Your kid's are, but not you. I have children they are older and I have grandchildren also. I May see the X or X family at my kid's family outing. Or if I drop by my children's home's to see my children or grandchildren the X might be there. But if ya have kid's just be nice smile and think to your self it's over. life is good.:-) Sorry with the first answer I gave go figure I did not look at who the person was yeek'ssssssss A Man wow So had to fix the answer sorry

You can choose to remain friends with the ex in-laws if you choose and if there are children involved, then you should stay civil for the children. It also depends on how close you are or were with the ex in-laws. But in a divorce, your just mainly getting rid of the spouse, the rest is a matter of choice.

Actually, I don't even think (not sure) you are legally related to them when you ARE married. The law (I'm guessing) would recognize an individual person's marriage. How does that include his relatives? When you sign a marriage license, your fiance's family doesn't sign ANYWHERE on ANY paperwork creating the legal tie. Children would be BLOOD relatives which are legally recognized.
Anyway, either way, with a divorce all legal non-blood related ties are broken as well.

Legally you are no longer bound to the family. However, if the family still accepts you and the divorce was on "ok" terms it doesn't mean they won't still treat you like a son. My biological father's parents still love and accept my mom as their own. They understand why the divorce was necessary and there are no hard feelings.

well some get along better with the family than they did with the spouse n continue a relationship with the family after a divorce. I however found this very ackward n drifted away from my exs family, but I made sure my kids stayed a part of their lives.
good luck

That mean no that your not bound to that family as long as you don't want to but I have seen where the ex-spouse is still part of the family - only in some situations.

Once the papers is signed you are not related to your in laws they all went with the one you just divorced. They came with her they all left with her. Maybe your sister in law doesn't want to let go of ya. Maybe you are a good man so they wanna keep you in the family.

You are no longer bound to the ex's family, but if there are kids involved I hope that you would maintain a good relationship with them.

Why would you still be related to the inlaws if your no longer married. Inlaws come with the marriage, so when you divorce a spouse, you divorce the inlaws too. Tell your ex-sister in law that it's common sence.

No, you are no longer bound to anyone related to your ex, except any children that may have come of this union. Your ex sister-in-law is wrong. Legally you have no ties, but emotional ones may remain.
