Have you tried to create 4 radio buttons all with the same name but different "Export" values and observed what happens when you check each button?
You can see the value of the radio button group if you use the JavaScript console.
Assuming you have named the radio buttons "Marital Status" then you can use the following code in the JavaScript console to observe the value available to JavaScript:
this.getField("Marital Status").value;

You then need to decide with what action to use to test the value of the radio button group and adjust the fields as needed.
Since you will be using the same script for all radio buttons, I would suggest using a document level function to manipulate the spouse's fields. I would also use a hierarchical field name for the fields. Prefix all the spouse's field with "Spouse.".
You then could use the following document level function in the "Mouse Up" action for each of the buttons:
function CheckMaritalStatus(cStatus) {
this.resetForm(["Spouse"]);
this.getField("Spouse").required = false;
this.getField("Spouse").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("Spouse").readonly = true;
if(cStatus == "Married") {
this.getField("Spouse").required = true;
this.getField("Spouse").display = display.visible;
this.getField("Spouse").readonly = false;
return true;
You then use the following code for the "Mouse Up" action in each of the Radio Buttons:
CheckMaritalStatus(this.getField(event.target.name).value);
