Only divorce records up to about 1930 are at the National Archives after that,
You apply to
Her Majesty´s Courts Service,
Decree Absolute Searches,
Room 2.03,
First Avenue House,
42-49 High Holborn,
London WC 1V 6NP

I think from what others have said it is quite expensive i.e. £40 for a10yr search.

The national archives site should have some info about how to get divorce records
