If you have a divorce attorney, I recommend that you consult with that person on this issue. You should have a new will done immediately. You won't be able to defeat your spouse's economic claims -- they will survive your death. By law, he would not be treated as your spouse if you passed away without a will. However, best to have a will that specifies your wishes. You can do that now.
