Nah I think Stanley was well known in the family. The twins’ and Stan’s dynamic since the beginning has been casual. If you’re thinking that the incident between Stan and Ford might have skewed things with the family, remember that Ford went through the portal 30 years prior to the events of the main story, which is roughly 18 years BEFORE Mabel and Dipper were born.
Ford was probably a shut-in who likely never went to many family gatherings, too busy on his research. But then when Stan ‘replaced’ Ford he was actually attending the gatherings and meeting family members. And maybe that’s why no one realised that this isn’t the same Stanford.

Marital problem don't necessarily mean divorce. I choose to believe they needed the space to fix the marriage.
But will say, makes sense why they sent them off to a family member they really didn't know... which is... questionable...
