I need to know the date of my divorce to claim my state pension. It was over 30 years ago and I can't recall the date, and unfortunately my paperwork was lost in a fire.

I can't recall now which solicitor was used.

Does anyone know please where I can search to find out the date of my divorce?

Google Family Court then request and fill in Form 440.

I think you can find it on www.ancestry.co.uk you can usually have a 7-day free trial.

D440.

There are two ways to search for a decree absolute or final order. If you know the name of court you can contact the court directly or if you do not know where the divorce took place you can contact the Central Family Court.

There is a fee:
