National Archives say that about 0.2% of divorce papers after 1937 have survived.

True, but there seem to be some indexes to later divorces at TNA (or indexes to some divorces?) in J 78
i.e.
Index to divorce and matrimonial causes filed 1945 Jan-June

Also filmed by the LDS, most can be seen at a FHC
