If she is no longer your wife because of divorce, those portions of your will which named her are void. The rest of the will remains in effect. So, if the will said "all to my wife, and i\then to my children" the part to your wife is void and the children take everything. In most cases, you are safer having a new will done. It's not very expensive.
