As we all know well in this day of disposable spouses, divorce is an unfortunate reality in this world. Though divorces of yesteryear were considerably more serious and were less often sought, they did occur. Divorces can contain a good bit of genealogical information, and though, they usually detail one of the worst times in the life of an ancestor, they provide a human touch to the names and sterile data that is often the only connection we have to them.

Below are the Huffines divorce records that I have at my disposal. Some are mere naratives of the actual cases, while others are transcriptions of the documents as found in court records and contributed by visitors to this site. In the cases of transcription, I have taken the liberty to punctuate and correct mispellings and other errors when the true intent is clear. If you have a divorce case that you would like to share with other researchers, I would be happy to include it on this site.
