HMCS (Her Majesty's Court Service) Principle Registry of the Family Division Decree Absolute Searches R 2.03 First Avenue House 42-49 High Holborn London WC1V 6NP Tel 020 7947 7016 or 7017 I think the search costs is £25 for each 10year period (yes expensive). If I remember correctly for an extra £1 you can get the Decree Nisi which will give you details i.e. why abandonment, adultery (it may even name names!) etc. I've found them helpful both on the phone and in person. If you do visit they'll only search two years while you wait. Give them a call. What details are you hoping to find or do you just want to confirm a couple actually got divorced?
