Does my ex wife qualify as 'Family' on other drivers section or just friend?

By definition, your ex-wife is no longer part of your family.   Any attempt to suggest otherwise from an insurance perspective, would be ambitious to say the least.

Unless the insurer specifically amends/modifies the generally-accepted interpretation of a word (which is common - see 'definitions' page of a policy), it would be the normal dictionary definition that would apply.

I wouldn't have thought that any insurer would be defining your ex-wife as 'family', therefore, you should proceed on that basis (i.e that she's not family, and is simply a friend).

Hope this helps

You could try asking the insurer; it is possible their opinion/policy may vary.
