Due to divorce, I removed my spouse from the deed of the home. I still own the home and I wanted to know if I can remove them from the house insurance policy. Will they drop the spouses name and I keep the current policy without having to get a new one?

Yes if you are both named insureds it is possible to remove your ex from the policy but it will typically require her signature to do so.
If they are no longer married to you, no longer live in the home, and no longer co-own the home, then they have no insurable interest in the home and should be taken off the policy. How to do that varies from company to company, and you should talk to your agent or customer service to find out.
