my question would be , if you divorced the woman you were married to is her siblings and parents still your in laws ? i say no as the "in law" condition only existed because of the marriage

Once you are divorced the in law plan is over and done.

Former in-laws quite often become outlaws.

I talk to one of my first ex wife's brothers from time to time.

He is my older daughter uncle.

The last of his family line.

Outlaws yes. When marriage ends, technically in my books it's over, finito, asta la vista.

im with you canuck , while i never really had ill feelings of either of my two EXs mothers , i really only miss the seconds leftsa ,

paddy - i see that connection and if i had ever had one like that i might feel differently ,

the only reason i brought this up is it came up as a topic on another site - slightly different context but it got me thinking on things ive not thought of in decades - might not want to think on them again either

I actually was very lucky.

My ex in-laws were both nice people.
