Put the divorce date in the proper place. I am trying to understand what you want to have happen. A marriage, after a divorce, annulment, death or other ending, still existed legally, forever. With the date in place, the main screen shows 'divorced' next to the date/place on the marriage field. This 'implies' unmarriedness. Rich in LA CA
