Do you maintain the relationship with the in-laws after your marriage is ended?

Marriage can be ended by divorce or the death of the spouse. My husband passed away last year. I still maintain the relationship with his family. I have 2 kids, and nothing gonna change that my kids still blood related to his family. Will you still keep in touch or maintain good relationship with your in-laws if the marriage is ended?

My father in law passed away a few years ago and my mother in law is garbage. I have nothing to do with her at all. I don't like my husbands family now, neither does he actually. We both have nothing to do with them so no I would still have nothing to do with them if anything ever happened like that...

Yes. These are your spouse's parents, they'll be mourning too. If you have kids, they're the kid's grandparents. You are a part of a wide family, that's a help as well as a hindrance.

NO!!!!! My ex-in-laws were a significant reason for ending our relationship and marriage. I always strive to find the good in everyone I meet, especially those I spend time with because there is a bit of God in each of us. Regarding my ex-in-laws, well, I am still looking...

I am lucky to have a great in-laws. Been separated with my ex for years already but I can say that my relationship with my in-laws are never been affected. They always support me and my kids are much attached with them.

i think it's nice you keep a relationship with the family. I talk to my ex's parents only if necessary. There is some tention between our families, but we have a son together, so we try to make it work for him. If I ever marry and have another child, i'd do the same for them.
