Hi, Happy New Year to all.
My wife has a brother John( my brother in law?).
John has a daughter Gillian (my niece?)
If my wife and I divorce, is Gillian still my niece?
Thanks

On the same vane I have a family member who was in a similar situation to the then Prince Charles.
Was he a widower or a divorcee when before he marries Camilla ?

I have absolutely no legal qualifications except that I’ve been there twice…. 
As your ex is no longer your wife, then your former family relationships also ‘disappear out the window.’   ;)

Just discovered someone who married her stepmother's cousin.  Did her stepmother become her cousin-in-law?!

I think Charles was a divorcee as he was not married when Diana died.

Some may do, but your children are still yours, are they not ? (if there are any, of course).

As you would refer to your wife as your ex wife after you divorce, wouldn’t it follow that John would be your ex brother in law, and Gillian your ex niece?  :)
