excônjuge

Excônjuge, also known as exconjuge, is a Portuguese term that refers to a person who has been legally divorced or separated from their spouse. The term is derived from the Latin "ex" meaning "out of" or "from," and "conjuge" meaning "spouse." In Portuguese law, an excônjuge is an individual who has been divorced or legally separated from their spouse, and as such, they are no longer considered married to that person.

The legal status of an excônjuge can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the divorce or separation. In some cases, an excônjuge may be eligible to remarry, while in others, they may be subject to certain restrictions or waiting periods. It is important for individuals in this situation to consult with a legal professional to understand their rights and obligations.

The term excônjuge is not commonly used in English, and the concept is often referred to as a former spouse or ex-spouse. However, in Portuguese-speaking countries, the term excônjuge is widely recognized and understood in legal and social contexts.
