Hm, yes, that pesky passive voice leaves it unclear who’s doing the announcing, doesn’t it? The date when Katy and Russell, or their spokespeople, announce that the papers have been filed. And if they do a Sean Penn/Robin Wright thing where they go back and forth about four times before actually getting divorced – whatever. Date of the first official announcement. ---

Put me in for a lovely, amicable divorce shortly after Christmas. January 5, 2013. She’ll go back to her superfundy parents and he’ll fall off the wagon. ---

Will it count as a break up if one or the other dies of an OD? How about murder/suicide? I’ll say March 8, 2012. I’m a hopeless romantic. Regards, Shodan ---

The OP mentions divorce. I think that should be the sole determinant. ---
