How do I view divorce information in Family Tree?

In Family Tree, divorce information is displayed on a couple's relationship with the marriage events. Below are key aspects to understand:

• Divorces only show on the Person page if it is the only marriage event.
• If there is a marriage date and a divorce date for a couple, then only the marriage date shows on the person page.
• If a marriage exists, regardless of its order of entry, it will appear on the person’s page. To view or edit the divorce details, click the edit icon .

Family Tree displays marriage events in chronological order. If the events are out of order, add or correct the dates as needed.
