If she /he is out of the family, should they be off the photo wall?

Unfortunately divorces happen & people have to walk away from our family at times. These individuals however have been captured in our family photos & may be displayed on walls, mantles, shelves, etc. in the homes of outside family members. Do you think they should be taken down or would you still continue to proudly display them?
*Clarification: I'm asking about pictures being displayed in other family members' homes, not the home of the original couple.
well it depends if the family still like him or her! if they do then ya keep them up!
At my grandparents house they have wedding pictures from their older children on the wall and on a table they have the newer generation of wedding pictures. When my cousin got married the 1st time they put his wedding picture on the table. When he got a divorce they took it down. He has since remarried but they haven't added a new picture of his new wedding yet.
Seeing others points of view I can understand. In my situation, the children were really young when their father decided we were in the way. I moved on, pregnant with our daughter. Any photos that had him in it were edited digitally, since most of photos are stored on my computer. The other day I found two printed photos that he's in but they aren't displayed or even in albums.
As for other family members having photos of him, he never really came to family functions to be part of photos so I don't think my parents have any. I'm not sure if his mom has any up, but she did like taking photos of me and the kids. She never had hard feelings towards me, she maintained contact when she could but that was inconsistent also. I guess it would depend how the family member displaying the photo feels about the person.
If there are no hard feelings, why not? My sister and her longtime fiancee ended it. But we have a ton of pics of both of them together. She has a new beau, so we don't display them anymore, but we kept them. We liked him.

Does divorcing your family count?
For example your parents
Some times i believe its wrong but than theres times when i feel like thats perfectly fine what do you guys think?
Yes I agree! I mean it's no harm unless the new spouse/significant other gets upset over the pics of the exs.
Quoting juanswifey06:
If the divorce was mutual with no hurt feelings then yes id keep the picture up
