My information only shows my marriage and not my divorce. Divorce does not show on timeline. It shows on my ex husband and my information that we are still married.

    I just tested on the beta site: even if a divorce is the only relationship event entered, the timeline doesn't show it. For some reason, it only shows relationship events labeled "marriage" -- and even of those, it only shows the chronologically earliest one that's entered on any particular relationship. That is, if a couple married in A, divorced in B, then married each other again in C, the timeline and map will only show an event in A.

    The Family Members section of a profile's Details page behaves somewhat similarly: in the A-B-C situation, only A will show unless you click the pencil (edit) button next to it. The difference is that if only B and C are entered, then it'll show B (as the event with the earlier date).

    On your person page, click the edit pencil on the relationship showing you and your former spouse. If your divorce information does not appear, click on +add event, in the events section. In the top space where is says Marriage, click on the down arrow to the right. The dropdown will show the Divorce option. Click on that and fill in your pertinent information.

    This will not show on your timeline. But you will have recorded the information.
