From the National Archives site

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/divorce.htm#dummy-link



What records can I find in other archives and organisations?

*
Decrees absolute (1858 to present)

Find the decree absolutea document finalising a divorce to obtain legal proof of a divorce in England or Wales by requesting a search (£There may be a charge for accessing this information. Searching indexes may be free.) of the Central Index of Decrees Absolute. To do so, download Form D440 from Her Majesty's Courts Service website and post it to the Principal Registry of the Family Division.


There was another section on that page saying that after 1937 only 0.2% of divorce case files remain.
