I found divorce records at the National Archives for 1928.
I don't know what date they go to but I used this link:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search/quick_search.aspx
This search option gives better results and covers far more entries - only found this thanks to a Rootschatter  .
Good luck
Di

I agree with Di that this is a wonderful resource, which I too discovered only recently thanks to a fellow Rootschatter.
The easiest way to search for divorces is to use this page:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp
entering the name you are interested in in the "Word or phrase" box and J77 in the "Department or Series Code" box (plus any dates if you want to limit the search).

Thank you Di and Anna. Unfortunately the National Archives records only appear to go as far as 1935 when I just checked. Perhaps I'll have to wait another few years or so to find out anything.
Although I did read somewhere on Rootschat that although 1911 census is not yet available, a Rootschatters divorce details were available to all to see and they were only about 4-5 years old. Perhaps I should check newspapers.

Hi Lizzie
I seem to recall that, for a while, divorce details were available at the National Archives upto 2000, but this facility was then closed, think this was on a NA's newsletter, can't find it at the mo, perhaps there were objections

Thanks Sue. I doubt there are many people alive now, who divorced in the 1940s/50s. I'm trying to find out about my aunt's divorce and she was born in 1908 and died in 1990.
