Former Wife of a Viscount
If a marriage between a Viscount and Viscountess has been dissolved, the former wife (although no longer a peeress) may continue to use her title as a Viscount's wife, preceded by her forename (unless she remarries*)
How to address the Former Wife of a Viscount
The recommended (social) style of address is as follows:
| Beginning of letter | Dear Lady Powerscourt |
| End of letter | Yours sincerely |
| Envelope | Pauline, Viscountess Powerscourt |
| Verbal address | Lady Powerscourt |
| Invitation | Pauline, Lady Powerscourt |
| Description in conversation | Lady Powerscourt |
| List of Directors or Patrons | Pauline, Viscountess Powerscourt |
| Place card | Pauline, Viscountess Powerscourt |
| Legal document | Pauline, Viscountess Powerscourt |
* If the former wife of a Viscountess subsequently remarries she adopts her style of address from her present husband. ?Thus if Pauline, Viscountess Powerscourt, marries Mr Cuthbert Robinson she becomes Mrs Cuthbert Robinson.
