After a divorce if the will is not changed it is still valid, unless the termination agreement extinguished the ex wife's rights to take from her husband.

If he didn't change his will after the divorce then it is still valid. Good luck.

Usually a will loses validity upon divorce in most states. Speak with a local attorney.

In Florida the will is valid, but if you are a divorced spouse the statute creates a fiction that you died first. Best to have attorney review document.

His will is probably still valid, but if the will was made while you were still married to him, then any mention of you is no longer valid.

It depends on what your Judgment says. Usually the judgment contains language that includes termination of right to inherit from one another.

Unless your husband revoked or amended his will, it should be valid unless there is/are some errors in writing the Will initially.

In Michigan, to the extent it leaves property to you, it is invalid if the will predates the judgment.

It is valid, but you were automatically cut out by statute in Idaho. It would be as if you predeceased him.
