If it is a question, it should read: 'Have they gotten divorced?'

Hi,

You could also just ask: "Have they got divorced?", of course.

I don't know if one can own/obtain "divorced", Englishuser. hehe

Have they got flowers?

Have they got pizza?

Have they got Coke?

Have they got...? = Do they have...?

Mr. Micawber was right, I think, and Amy backed him up. I'm adding to the pile-up.
