Re: [LegacyUG] Handling Divorces in Charting
Another consideration might be how you are going to display this/these. If you will have them on a wall or propped up on a table at a reunion, you might want them separate anyway, so more people can look at them at the same time. Did that make sense? Like, father's ancestor chart on left, marriage's descendent chart in the middle, and mother's ancestor chart on right.

Re: [LegacyUG] Handling Divorces in Charting
My guess. Does the divorce couple have a child? Create using that person. If there is none, create a fake person called ' Here is a chart to show both sides of family'. This should then be deleted before you do more input.
