  What is the legal name of the woman right now?  Would they be offended if not listed Mr and Mrs?  Do the children have the father's last name?

  Mrs. Blog | Ms. Bio

  She goes by maiden -married last name.

  I would go with separate lines because they aren't married now, like this:
  
  Ms. Jane Smith-Doe
  Mr. John Doe
  Kristin, Caitlin, Kevin, and Apple
  1114 Elm Street
  Toledo, Ohio  43566
  
  But if you really don't want to do that, you could do this - which has NO last names.  The post office has to deliver it, because the street address is correct:
  
  Jane, John, Kristin, Caitlin, Kevin, and Apple
  1114 Elm Street
  Toledo, Ohio  43566

  If you have an inner envelope, the kids go only on the inner.
  
  The outer would be:
  
  Mr. John Smith and Ms. Jane Doe-Smith
  
  Nonmarried but co-habitating couples are addressed in this way.
  
  However, sounds like a case where you can just call the (ex) wife and ask. That is usually easiest and least likely to offend.
