> So. Let's say I have this dad. He has a sister named Jane. Jane marries this guy named Harold. Harold and Jane have two kids, Christina and Michael, my cousins. Then Harold and Jane get divorced. Is Harold still my uncle?

I think it depends entirely on how you feel about Harold. Getting divorced doesn't make him a bad guy. If you see him often, you might want to treat him as an uncle, even if you just call him Harold.

I have an ex-aunt, but she is 90 and I have only seen her once. She seems nice, and her son, my cousin, is a great guy. She divorced my uncle sixty years ago. She didn't seem to mind when I called her by her first name.
