Can someone who if divorced still be next of kin?

Yes, a divorced individual can still be considered next of kin in certain legal contexts, especially if there are no other immediate family members such as children or parents. However, the specific designation of next of kin can vary by jurisdiction and the context in which it is being considered, such as inheritance or hospital visitation rights. It’s important to check local laws and any relevant legal documents, such as wills, to determine the appropriate designation.
