My Grandfather, not divorced but I'm thinking marriage dissolved lived with but didn't marry and had children with another woman, so what I would like to know is what is my relationship with their children, would they still be Aunts and Uncles to me?
Thank you.

I guess they'd be half Aunts and half Uncles...though it sounds a bit cumbersome!

When googling, came across a marriage between a half uncle and half niece making the news when it was not declared illegal (in New York state)

The bride was the daughter of the groom's half sister.

As they share two great grandparents with you doesn't that make them second cousins once removed?

In the genealogical sense, aunts and uncles are full siblings of your ancestors but the term is also used for spouses of aunts and uncles and may also be used informally when no (acknowledged) relationship is involved (e.g. Uncle Arthur in Dad's Army).
