next of kin

[bobby atkin]

If someone is divorced who is the next of kin to this person the persons ex husband or the persons parents?:

Not the ex-husband. It would be your closest adult relative - parent, grand-parent, brother, sister, grown up child.

You can usually nominate a person to be your next of kin on passports, donor cards, at the doctor's, hospital and so on.

My ex-husband is the next of kin on my passport even though he left in 1995 and we divorced in 2003, I use him because if anything happened he could be there for the kids, even though they are all adults now
