Keiko is a Misdrawn Positive Character

Wasn't that officer that Data dated married before? Or are you referring to main character romances? Thought, McCoy was divorced as well.

Jenna was just dating I think...good call on McCoy, though we only ever saw the after.

And, in a weird twist in "All Good Things" (Q influenced reality, so bear that in mind) that Geordi is married to a woman named "Leah," though it is not explicitly clear that it is Leah Brahms or if Geordi just likes that name.

I think it's the most likely infernence mind you, so it's a side character who at least remarries. There's plenty of jilted housewives in holodeck courtroom drama with Dax, Riker and Paris I suppose. But they is bumpy forehead aliens of the week init.
 
Pulaski mentioned that she had been married three times.

What is this a courtroom drama...xD
Yeah. Forgot her. Which means the years of trying were working. Pulaski was not my favourite character 'McCoy had a divorce...I've had three!' XD

We never see her marriages, let alone her divorces, and any negative repercussions of divorce are waved off.

If there is anything that comes close to showing divorce in Trek, it's Worf and Ezri: their problems defining working relationships after marriage has ended and having difficulty relating personally to one another on a new basis.
 
If one is feeling inclined to accept Nemesis as canon and not try to will it into the "bad fanfic" bin (I usually go for the latter), Guinan has those 23 marriages in her past. Presumably some divorces in there.

Indeed. However, she is also a 'crack shot', and, a very good listener.

PIcard and Crusher were divorced in the "All Good Things" future and I thought they did a good job with it. Also even though I don't think the split up with Neelix and Kes was done well for the most part I did like the scene between them in Kes's final episode before she would evolve. Were he talks about how he felt he was holding her back.

Picard/Crusher falls quite squarely into the said, not seen category where the repercussions of the divorce (and for the matter, marriage), never appear on the screen. Moreover, any exasperation that Crusher shows over Picard's behavior are almost completely independent of any personal history that never appears on screen: it was simply a manifestation of her personality.

Neelix/Kes is interesting,but it is a breakup, not a divorce, thus lacks a significant level of disentangling that comes from divorce. Simply put, marriage is not an ordinary relationship. Moreover, the Kes side of that story tended to be someone odd, as if her entire attitude was "get over it, Neelix." It was simply not compelling.

Then again, Guinan is at least 500 years old then. About 22 years is a high average, but many of them could be to short-lived species.
