    yes he was part of her family afterall and especially if he has kids it is their grandmother. I think its nice for him to show respect.

    If they have kids together, for sure! If nothing else, he's there to support them.

    By the same token, if they were together for some time, he probably became relatively close to her family, and attending would be a show of support for them, besides giving both sides a chance to "catch up". (When I divorced my ex, it was stated by both sides that I was divorcing her, not her family. They didn't invite me to general things once I had a girlfriend, but for a few years, when I was single, they did. Our kids, I believe, as well as her family, appreciated me.)

    Besides, whether he now has anything to do with her, now, or not, he KNEW the family. Don't you think he may wish to show that he supports them in this time of need? (I'm sure they know the whole situation.)

    And, if he would attend the funeral of a friend's family-member, he should attend her mothers. After all, they WERE related - A LOT closer than a friend's family member.

    Absolutely NOT. Here's the definition of divorce just in case you need to spell it out for him. (Like I had to for my husbands EX)

    di·vorce (d-vôrs, -vrs)
    n.
    1. The legal dissolution of a marriage.
    2. A complete or radical severance of closely connected things.
    v. di·vorced, di·vorc·ing, di·vorc·es
    v.tr.
    1. To dissolve the marriage bond between.
    2. To end marriage with (one's spouse) by way of legal divorce.
    3. To cut off; separate or disunite: an idea that was completely divorced from reality. See Synonyms at separate.
    v.intr.
