If your marital status is divorced and your ex-spouse dies is your marital status changed to single - widow or remain divorced?

Divorce is a complicated legal matter. You should contact an attorney on avvo for a detailed answer.

You are still divorced. Widow only applies to someone whose spouse died while they were married.

Check with a Wisconsin attorney to confirm this, but generally once the legal relationship of husband and wife has been severed (i.e., divorced), each party is considered single. Many people, even after a couple has divorced, refer to the former spouse as someone's husband or wife. Legally, however, there is no relationship.
