How do you address a divorced woman?

Answer 1

A widow is Mrs. Married Name unless she specifies a desire to use her maiden name or legally returns to her maiden name.

It is not improper nor insensitive to recall through the use of her name that she was married, in fact it may be considered insensitive by some widows to use Ms. or revert to a maiden name, which is never done unless specified by the widow herself, as they may see this as an attempt to ignore years of matrimony or the passing of their husband.

Answer 2

If he is still her husband, you address her as Mrs. If they have divorced you should address her as Ms.

Answer

This is the twenty first century. You address a woman by her first and last name. If you prefer to use a title then Ms is appropriate. It is no longer necessary to identify a woman's marital status when addressing her or sending correspondence to her.

Answer 3

well, how you address a divorced woman depends on how they want to be addressed, for example they may want to keep being addressed by their married name, or they might wish to change back to their maiden name. Your best bet is probably to keep addressing her how you addressed her before, unless she asks or tells you that she has changed her name. Just remember, any one who is going through divorce or has just been through one is probably in a bit of emotional turmoil as well.

Answer

The best way to address any woman is by her name preceded by Ms if you feel you must include a title. It is never necessary to include a marital status when addressing a woman any more than it is necessary to include a man's marital stayus when addressing him.

Answer 4

First, you need to do a little research (or maybe you already know) to determine if she resumed her former name or not. Then you would address the invitation as you would to any unmarried woman or unmarried man by simply using her name: To Katherine Harrington or to Ms. Katherine Harrington if you personally need to use a title.

There is no special way to address an invitation to a divorced woman to label her as divorced.

Answer 5

Call he Ms. (pronounced Mizz), because it doesnt differentiate between a married or non married woman.

Answer 6

"Ms." is appropriate
