I am interested in some divorce papers, which took place in the 1950's probably in Bromsgrove Worcestershire, are these papers likely to be detailed in those days, and where are they likely to be held:? Adrienne

Take a look at the National Archives' research guide on the subject: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=53 Most case files since 1938 have been destroyed (once they are 20 years old). A small sample for this period survives at TNA and you can search those using the surname and restricting the search to the series J 77.
