Hello,
I am researching my wife's great/great grandparents who lived in Stettin in the 19th Century. I believe that in the 1850s they were divorced because I have found evidence that the mother re-married while at the same time her husband was alive. The only explanation can be that they were divorced and my enquiry is to do with the availability of divorce in Prussia at that time and how easy it was to obtain one. I believe that the family were Protestants. Their children were baptised at Saint Marien and St Jakobi churches.
I hope that you will be able to help me.

I am not an expert on this subject, but I do know that there was a divorce in one of the families in the Heuer book. Peter Bergin, after his first wife died, married a younger woman. They had one child and then they were divorced. I have no idea how hard that was to do, but it didn't seem that it took very long before both of them were married again.
