I always thought Sexed Up by Robbie Williams would be a good one.

This isn't really a divorce song but try 'Unhooked Generation' by Freda Payne. Great song.
'I just kicked the habit of being a fool for you.'

Also, Tainted Love (preferably the Gloria Jones version)

Memphis Tennessee - Chuck Berry

(in this song the singer is trying to contact his six year old daughter in Memphis, and it is implied, rather than openly stated, that he is divorced from her mother).

The obvious one:-

D.I.V.O.R.C.E - Tammy Wynette
(although I much prefer the parody of this song by Billy Connolly).

Haitian Divorce - Steely Dan
Mexican Divorce - The Drifters
Release Me - Engelbert Humperdinck
You Don’t Bring Me Flowers - Neil Diamond and Barbra Sterisand

None of the above are really party songs (and the last two are more about relationships going wrong and an implicit desire for divorce rather than an actual divorce) but I thought I'd mention them anyway.

It would help to know something of the circumstances. Is it an amicable divorce, is she glad or sad, kind of thing.
