Divorces

Tables on the number of divorces granted each year in Northern Ireland are produced on an annual basis and are available in this section.

The tables that accompany the Annual Report of the Registrar General have been reviewed and consolidated with the formerly, separately published annual summary tables for each topic area to produce a single, streamlined set of annual tables. Details of the changes made and where to find specific information in the newly revised tables are available in the RG tables lookup document.

Decree absolute data is provided to NISRA by the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service (NICTS)

Finalised statistics on divorce registrations in Northern Ireland are available from the Divorces Section of the Registrar General Annual Report.

Detailed information on the quality of divorces and dissolutions data is available from the Background Quality Report.
