mes parents ont récemment divorcés


Explanation:
Attention, le verbe "se divorcer" de la réponse précédente n'existe pas.

D'autre part, pour information, vous pouvez par exemple dire "ma mère a divorcé d'avec mon père". En fait, on divorce "d'avec" quelqu'un".

Bon courage !

(...) ont divorcé

correct.

Le verbe divorcer n'est pas un verbe pronominal en français.

Explanation:
Hi, Jess

Since your sentence is vague about the time, you have got several options:

Mes parents ont divorcé il y a quelques semaines/il y a quelques mois/le mois dernier/la semaine dernière

Mes parents ont divorcé en janvier, février, mars....

Mes parents viennent de divorcer.

Or you could just state the fact that they are divorced (and in that case, and only in that case, divorced is plural): mes parents sont divorcés.
