I was just wondering if an ex spouse that you had a kid with and divorced a year later. Is the Ex considered to be family to you?

No. The only tie you have to him is your child. He's no longer part of YOUR life or YOUR family. Along with ending a marriage your also ending any ties that marriage brought upon your life!

NO!!! The Ex- Predetermines that the spouse is no longer part of the family. The child is, but not the Ex. Make arrangements to havethe child at the family functions, and work it as amicably as possible. But I would not have the Ex involved, it can only cause dispruption within the family, as well as increased tension between the divorced couple. Not to mention what will happen once they find new partners.

Depends on if you like them or not. :-) I think some people are able to keep on really good terms with both their ex and his/her family. If you guys are not ammicable then I would say no. Either way, neither the ex nor his family are considered a blood relative to anyone except for your kids.
I think the term 'family' is rather subjective......my best friend is like a sister and her family is mine. They call me auntie and her parents, sisters, brothers & uncles all invite me to everything so sometimes family is what we make rather then what we are born into.

Depending on how close you were. You were close friends for a long time, and probably lived together. But you do share a child, I say he will always be family. Not like a brother, but more like a distant cousin. So you dont have to talk on the phone, or invite him to personal gatherings, but he does deserve a level of respect.

Yes, because of you had kids together, and once were a family, so that's important, first and for most for your kid(s). so they feel that your divorce doesn't mean complete separations and cutting ties with the father.
If everybody still behave humanly to each other, so if you are going to relate as friends and contact each other for different arrangements that concern visits and outings with kids and him, in the case that you got the kids, I don't feel that is a problem at all to include one more present under the Xmas tree.

If you have a child together then you will be connected for the rest of the childs life.
Being on good terms and being able to communicate will do nothing but make life easier on you both as well as your child.
Do not however make the mistake of being to "friendly" as this will only confuse your child.

No, and yes. At any family event your child is involved with, you 2 will be there, and you will be forever connected to each other through this child you both have. So you'll see each other at soccer games, band concerts, school plays, high school graduations, college graduations, wedding, birth of grandchildren, etc., etc.

Yeah, ex-family!
"Considered" is a subjective term. Do you consider him to be family? Then he isn't. Of course, he will always be family to your child, whether you consider him so or not.

I do not consider my ex husband family to me. Although I do consider his family still mine and vice versa.

no X is considered family, the only thing that made him family before was the marraige that you shared.
