Recent Divorce records
« on: Friday 30 October 20 18:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi can anyone point me where to look for recent divorce records in England. I need to check for my grandson to see when his divorce was approved.  His ex-wife has returned to China and he has returned to Belfast. If anyone can provide a link I can check it out for him I would be most grateful.

Rootschat has a no living persons policy so you need to remove his name from your post.  If a solicitor was involved - wouldn't they have details?

My grandson had a complete mental break down and we managed to get him home from London on Tue. He has been living in various places in london ever since he lost his job as an accountant due to the company having to shut with the present pandemic.

I suspect that due to data protection reasons, recent divorce records will not be available to publicly search.  This link here https://www.gov.uk/copy-decree-absolute-final-order suggests what you can do depending whether you know the reference number through to having to do a 10 year search across all years.
