Cancellation of sealing Would not process
My Bishop said the cancellation of sealing form would not process because the prior spouse divorce had not been entered. I thought that in order to show a current spouse(IE record civil marriage). that the divorce had to be entered. What would be preventing this from going through and what do I need to give to my Bishop so it will process?

I'd call local unit support. I doubt if there's anything you can do from your end that wouldn't end up causing more problems.

If the new marriage is the current marriage showing then the divorce must have already been recorded. Once a person is remarried the record in MLS no longer shows anything about the previous marriage except perhaps that the person was sealed to a prior spouse.
Please how can i do this in lcr???

First find the member profile (using for instance the Member List). Click on the Family tab, then click on the pencil icon to the right of the marriage information. Then click on the Change Marriage Status button and follow through the prompts.duodua wrote:Please how can i do this in lcr???

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
Within LCR, I've entered date of birth for existing non-member husband.
Later, I found that they divorced.
I can't add a termination date.
Should I just delete "date of birth". Would that bring up "termination date"?

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
As far as I know, the system only holds one marriage. I wouldn't think you'd see a prior spouse.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
Must clarify. Existing displayed husband died after their divorce.
He's still on this less active members MR.
Death date had already been entered by some other MemRecClk.
Actually, "Date of Death" does not appear either, just the word, "Deceased".
"Present Spouse" is still listed on her MR, although they were divorced back in year, 1984.
Shouldn't his name be removed. I can't enter "Termination" "Divorce" "Date".

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
That's not adding up. It might do odd things if she's sealed to a excommunicated member.
I think it's time to call support.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
It does sound odd so I expect that will be needed. But just to be clear, in order to terminate a marriage (due to death or divorce) you first click the pencil icon on the right side of the marriage information and then click on the Change Marriage Status button that appears. There isn't a date of divorce or date of death field visible until after you click Change Marriage Status button.russellhltn wrote:That's not adding up.
