We just accidentally found out that my husband's brother recently got divorced. We live in a different state but occasionally look through the online edition of my husband's hometown. Under marriages/divorces there it was. My SIL chose a combination name when they got married and combined with all the other information provided it's unique enough to know it's them. The problem is even though the marriage was under the weather from the beginning we actually thought things had improved in the last two years. There was nothing indicating this was going on and nobody let us know that this was coming. We were led to believe everything is just dandy. And a divorce isn't exactly finalized over night.

My question is, how would you handle this? Should we just pretend we don't know about it? My in-laws don't know we look at the local newspaper from time to time. It's not like they could have expected us to find out this way...

I would have to just come right out and ask. I would just say something to the extent that you just explained here, you read the paper now and then and just happened to see it. And Why didn't anyone say anything?

Thanks for replying. My husband did end up picking up the phone. He called his parents and talked to his dad. He didn't tell his dad we knew. Just after some chatting my husband asked about our niece. My in-laws watch her a lot. That's when my FIL told him that he didn't want to tell us but... He didn't want to say why they got divorced though. They have been covering up my BIl's shortcomings a lot over the years. He probably did something that finally upset my SIL enough to file for divorce.
