I haven’t personally done this, but the idea of it bothers me. Wouldn’t they still talk to the other villagers, who would be like, “Hey, I hope you’re doing well with the divorce.” “We were all at the wedding, man. Sucks that it’s over,” “Lewis has your divorce papers in his desk,” etc.?

It probably wipes the memories of everyone else of the marriage as well
The witch statues probably wipe out all memories from everyone. It’d be weird if they’d not be bothered by disappearing kids.
Because you’d have to write divorce dialogue for the entire town which I’m sure CA didn’t want to do but he did want to give players a way to get rid of their spouses and kids.
omg i never thought about this lol like the whole town was at our wedding but now everyone’s just pretending it never happened? so weird.
omg i never thought about that.. like imagine penny just pretending she doesn’t know me while demetrius is like “so how’s married life treating you” 💀.
Probably to duck a whole bunch of writing. Which in this case fair, divorce is a tricky subject and then I am sure certain CA would want to have certain NPCs say special dialog. Maybe also an additional way to break things healthily. The world always had magic in it, why not use it to skip writing something that could be a severe pain point for players or even the man himself.
The people closest to them do sometimes reference the divorce, not to them but to you.
I divorced Penny and wiped her memory. She was totally unaware, but I talked to Pam the next day and she was PISSED.
Nah, small towns collude like that sometimes.
Usually not with magic memory wipes, but yeah.
Literally a wizard did it

It’s literally magic
In a world where there is magic that can do it at all, or turn your children to doves, I don’t think you should apply logic too harshly.
