How to Show Divorce, Separation and Other Relationships on a Genogram

Show a divorce in GenogramAI: click the line between the couple, and under Relationship history add an event, choose Divorced and type the year. The line gets two slashes and both dates show on it (for example m 94 · d 10). The Line type tab lists every kind of partnership: dating, cohabitation, engagement, marriage, physical and legal separation, divorce, widowed, affair and more. A legal separation has one slash; an affair has its own pink line.
