Answer No.
If you wish to resume your former name you should request the right to do so at the time of the divorce. That can be incorporated into the divorce decree.
It depends on the laws of the jurisdiction where the divorce took place and what the divorce decree states. In many places, any will executed prior to the divorce is declared null and void. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
First of all, check the divorce decree. It may specify that all such agreements are null and void at the time of the decree.

No, divorce papers are NOT void
No, the separation decree becomes null and void.
No. That issue would be controlled under Rhode Island law:"After 6/4/76, a divorce decree does not become final by operation of statute but only upon entry of final decree upon the expiration of at least 3 months after the trial and decision. A remarriage in Rhode Island or any other jurisdiction during that 3 months is void in all States because the parties to the divorce are still husband and wife. There is no period following the final decree during which the parties are prohibited from remarrying."See related link.No. That issue would be controlled under Rhode Island law:"After 6/4/76, a divorce decree does not become final by operation of statute but only upon entry of final decree upon the expiration of at least 3 months after the trial and decision.

"arrearage" ... "decree" - no
I want my question answered!!!
Maybe. Life insurance is a contract and if the beneficiary on the policy is listed as the 2nd wife, she is entitled to the money. Check the divorce decree, it may, depending on who drafted it and what state you are in, may have stated that any such designation as beneficiary is void. It may also have said in the divorce decree that maintaining her as beneficiary of an insurance policy was a condition of the divorce.
This varies from state to state, but most divorce decrees will include making the will void as it applies to the spouse in question. Consult the divorce decree and a probate attorney to find out what happens in your state. ==Additional Comments== In Massachusetts any provisions for a spouse expressed in a Will made prior to the divorce are automatically revoked by a divorce decree unless there is specific language also contained in the Will to contradict that operation of law. It's best to check your state statutes. Most states have adopted laws that provide that if there is a divorce, the gift to the wife and the appointment of her as executrix are automatically revoked unless the will says differently.
Normally, an agreement such as this one is void as against public policy.
