Do we capture the details of divorced spouses?

I am busy with a deceased estates file and have come across quite a few files where the spouse is indicated as divorced. Do we still capture these details?

    I think the General Guideline is to index the current Spouse. If there is no current spouse then yes - I think if the record refers to divorced spouse then that one can be indexed (the researcher can note the divorced status in Tree).
