I personally haven't divorced anyone in game as of now, but i recently discovered some of the spoilers related to after a divorce happens and how it can be resolved.
But i was thinking about the in-between portion instead. Characters who interact with each other frequently might not be happy that you divorced their friend\family member.

What if robin raised her prices? Or demitrius started taking fruit\mushrooms for 'data'.

Perhaps harvey would upcharge you for surgery if you got hurt in the mines.

I just feel there could be a lot of potential for friendships to rise and fall. Or if you don't want those price raises keeping yourself in good standing with those NPC's by talking to them and gifting them things semi regularly.

Also, why not also have the chance to mend things with an ex? Like the point multiplier could start out at .25x for their gifts if they life it, .5x for love. And once you grueling-ly grind your way back into a decent friend zone maybe all those grudges from others could start to go away.

So imagine marrying Penny, divorcing her, and now she returns to her moms TRAILER, but then the kids vincent and jas start to dislike you cause you made their kind loving teacher sad\depressed, then go home and tell Marni, Shane\kent, jodi, sam what has been happening in class, and THEY START TO GET MAD AT YOU.
But jodi is a house wife she lives off gossip. She goes to Caroline's aerobics class every tuesday... As does robin, marni, and emily...

So now the carpender, tailor\bar maid and store keepers know the story, imagine pierre raising prices cause how DARE you upset ALL of the women in town to the point he has to hear about it from his wife.
Or robin charges you more materials for a job\takes longer to build it\charges you more money.
Or emily tells gus at the bar and then *everyone* in town knows what you did to penny.
Oogles of bonus negative points: if Penny finds out you turned her kids to birds and her friends find out about it.
My roommate after hearing me tell them this said: "the next time you go to pam\penny's there is a bird cage cause she went out and caught two birds hoping it's them."
