If I didn't need a piece of paper to prove to the [retirement plan
managers] that I was married, why do I need one to prove that I'm
divorced?

Umm...

Because Catbert is involved, even if only peripherally?

Because you are lacking in the crucial Y-chromosome?

Because someone had a bad night last night, and wanted to be an asshole?

Because someone is an asshole, even if (s)he didn't have a bad night?

Because you're now claiming to be a single parent, and that's just immoral?

Because it's easier to add a beneficiary than to delete one?

Because you haven't jumped through enough hoops this week?

Because you didn't change your name when you got this alleged divorce?

I give up. Why?

Actually? Because a spouse has "entitlements" to one's retirement pension etc, and they have to verify that he isn't owed any of the money.
