Are you an EEA national who is divorcing? You don't need to notify the Home Office of any changes.

If you are a non-EEA national you will have to satisfy certain criteria before you can retain a right of residence in the UK after divorce. Pages 19-20 of this document lists the four different ways you can retain a right of residence after divorce. If you satisfy any one of those four criteria AND your EEA spouse is exercising Treaty rights at the time of your divorce AND you yourself exercise Treaty rights after your divorce, then you can retain a right of residence after divorce, and you should apply for a new residence card on that basis.
