Change Spouse

Dakota_Anderson

Hello, I was divorced over two years ago, and have been re-married ​since. How do I remove my old spouse and add my new Wife?

​

Thank you!​

You don't remove the old spouse because they are part of your history. Click on Add Spouse and add your new wife. Click on the edit icon in the marriage box with your first wife and click on add event. The default is marriage but if you click on it, you can change it to divorce and add the information.

You can add a spouse by clicking on Add a Spouse. I don't recommend removing a spouse. You can click on the box with a pencil in it and add a divorce date for your previous wife. You can also make your current spouse your preferred spouse.

 

I hope this answered your question and thank you for using the FamilySearch Community.
