For some reason when I added myself and my wife it says we are divorced, but that isn't correct - still married - it won't let me change it the status to married.

Can you change the partnership status if you:

  1. Click on your. box on the family tree
  2. Click on the "Partners" tab on the left side of the screen
  3. Click on "edit partnership details"
  4. This is where I would change from Divorced to Married

Do you have the dropdown to change it when you go there?

It is currently set to married, however the text above shows  ex-wife: name.
When you change the Type, does the text above change? Not necessarily just for Married, but for any of them?
If I select 'engaged', it shows ex-fiance, if I select 'Relationship', it shows Ex-partner.  If I select 'Married', it shows Ex-wife.
Do you get the same thing if you try it from another browser or from another computer? I ask to try to rule out odd caching issues.
Tried Google and Edge - same issue.  I'll try a Chromebook later.  Same problem with Chromebook.
Same problem on a different computer/Chromebook.
