Tenants in Common – No matter what it says in your will, if you own your house Jointly with your Spouse, then they will inherit your half if you die whilst the house is in Joint names. This can be altered by changing to Tenants in Common, then your half of the house is controlled by your will so you can gift it to your new partner or members of your family without having to worry about it going to your Spouse whom you are divorcing.
