Is there any website, archives centre, etc, for divorces?

Many thanks.

You'll find some on the National Archives site.

30 year closure on divorce records.

What do you mean 30 year closure?

Can't access information on any records less than 30 years old.

Same as the 100 year closure on census records.

I was able to get my great-grandparents divorce papers from 1897. You have a choice of getting either a digital copy, a copy on CD or paper. Digital is the least expensive.
