It's different in different states. Apparently during the divorce process it can remain valid until the divorce is final. There seem to be variations depending on where you live. I always thought it would remain valid until it was changed or revoked but to be absolutely sure I would check with an attorney in your state. You don't want to guess at that!
Yes, if you are the POA and do not want to be, see a lawyer about revoking it. If you have assigned someone its just a matter of revoking theirs and assigning someone else, if you want to. When a POA is done it says "this POA revokes all others".
