Not really. The official DoS page also does not seem to suggest affidavits etc are acceptable for proving divorce. However this must be a situation others have faced before, so you may find better suggestions on a regional Indian forum?

 

oh thanks for pointing that. new user here. you are right, may be I should try that.

They don't.   Silence to the issue is the key.  They list the requirements.   Not listed, not required. 

Thank you. Basically, don't ask, don't tell. You will be amazed to see how people trip themselves up for giving irrelevant information

@retheem : Are you suggesting we won't need this in the entire process all the way to the interview?

No, the poster is making some kind of general comments. I already gave you the link for the required civil documents and it is clearly included in there:

 

Marriage Termination Documentation

If you were previously married, you must obtain evidence of the termination of EVERY prior marriage you have had. Your evidence must be an original or certified copy of one of the following documents: FINAL legal divorce decree, death certificate, or annulment papers.

What's your dad's civil status? If he's divorced, did he never need a document saying that?

He just kept it as living separately. had nothing to show.

Maybe your mom can do the same? What problem would arise if you declare her as married? Anyway, I hope you get everything sorted out soon. Maybe it would help if you seek legal advice?
