A divorce decree / certificate (court judgment evidence) is often required for remarriage, some visas, and name changes. Customary and ordinance marriage histories can affect the legal path — get a family lawyer for the case itself.

FAQ
Separated but not divorced?
Separation alone may not satisfy remarriage or visa checklists — confirm what the receiver accepts.
Customary divorce only?
Foreign missions often want clear formal evidence. Ask your lawyer how to document your situation properly.
