Acording to the Merriam-Webster dictionary,

miss:

1 capitalized a -- used as a title prefixed to the name of an unmarried woman or girl b -- used before the name of a place or of a line of activity or before some epithet to form a title for a usually young unmarried female who is representative of the thing indicated <Miss America>
2 : young lady -- used without a name as a conventional term of address to a young woman
3 : a young unmarried woman or girl

Mrs:

1 a -- used as a conventional title of courtesy except when usage requires the substitution of a title of rank or an honorific or professional title before a married woman's surname <spoke to Mrs. Doe> b -- used before the name of a place (as a country or city) or of a profession or activity (as a sport) or before some epithet (as clever) to form a title applied to a married woman viewed or recognized as representative of the thing indicated <Mrs. Golf>
2 : WIFE <took the Mrs. to dinner>


Ms:

-- used instead of Miss or Mrs. (as when the marital status of a woman is unknown or irrelevant) <Ms. Mary Smith>

HAHAHA, hey i happen to be divorced, it is miss, and the correct way to pronounce ms. is mizz. but it should be miss, especially if she went back to her former name. then again experienced works for me.

Damaged goods, ouch, that tells me why I am still single after my divorce. The way men think about divorced women with children. Try putting yourself in our shoes, sucks trying to get a date when men think of you as used goods, instead of a person.
