Reference: Uso del prefijo ex según el DRAE

Reference information:
1. Prefijo autónomo de valor adjetivo, procedente de una preposición latina, que se antepone a sustantivos o adjetivos con referente de persona para significar que dicha persona ha dejado de ser lo que el sustantivo o el adjetivo denotan. Se escribe separado de la palabra a la que se refiere, a diferencia del resto de los prefijos, y sin guion intermedio: «Mi hijo no se fue solo, sino con su padre y mi ex suegra» (Díaz Piel [Cuba 1996]); «El ex alto cargo de Obras Públicas aseguró que con su misiva solo pretendía agilizar procedimientos administrativos»
