divorcés
Legally separated partners
Divorcés is the plural of divorcé, a man whose marriage has ended in divorce.
The French spelling with the accent distinguishes the masculine divorcé from the feminine divorcée, though in casual English this distinction often blurs: The support group welcomes divorcés and divorcées alike.
