Andrew Stephen Cengiz said: It would be helpful if there was an indicator on the family tree or even on the "View Person" page that let you know if a marriage ended in divorce. Right now you have to click on "edit couple" to see if there was a divorce.

    Cynthia Hodgson said: Also strongly agree. Rarely do I think to click on this to see if a divorce was entered. Even more problematic is that the divorces do not show up on the new timeline either.

    Ben Strubl said: I rarely find divorce records from few states. Often I see divorce in the census records. Sometime one spouse is listed widow while the other spouse listed divorced in the census. So I often times place divorce as about and a date between the censuses where the couple are together and then apart.

    I agree. Without an indicator to show there is a divorce to a marriage it is harder to know whose children belong where and if there are other possible spouses to search for. An indicator would be AMAZING. Right now you have to click on the edit button and then view it there.
