I would imagine if you wound up in an abusive relationship, you might celebrate it ending. People cope with things differently & you can never really know what goes on between other couples.
Yes, without any more info than the OP has given, I'd guess that it's a coping mechanism. Like a wake.
I think that different people have different ways of coping and/or finding closure to difficult times in their lives. If this is going to help her to close that chapter in her life and have a better view towards the future then great! More people should take the time to find closure from their prior relationships before getting into new ones.
IMO stuff like this poisons the minds of other women.
OMG!!! You're right!!
Now I want a divorce so I can have a party......
Oh wait...
I can just have a party.

I cannot think of one reason I would find worth celebratory party in a divorce. I'd rather justs be with just a handful of my closer friends for a couple drinks to simply say thanks for their support. Even if I won alimony, I think living off someone else's work is a bit degrading....
Some divorces - and the marriages they're designed to end - are horrible. As someone who's been going through a divorce for many months now, I can understand wanting to celebrate it being finalized. It can be an exhausting process and can make it difficult to move on if it drags and is toxic.
Have you seen Louis CK's bits on divorce? It rings true for me.
one of our section chiefs at work had a divorce party. She hired a band, had it catered, big party. She ended up dating one of the guys in the band, and a couple years later they were married, and have been married now for 12 years. Hers was the first divorce party i had ever heard of. I was sort of in awe and amazed, because my divorce had been so horrible, and i associated parties with joy and having fun. She said she was determined to not be miserable, that she was going to bring happiness into her life. I was very impressed with her strength and determination and positive attitude. And it was genuine, she was a very upbeat, inspiring person.
My grandmother when she was around 45 was divorced from her (philandering) husband. She ended up marrying the attorney who handled her divorce, they were married 39 years. Not a party, but definitely a happy ending, to the very end they smiled and cared for each other and laughed together.
I am divorced too but I did not party but I took time off and went on a good vacation with my child, and I enjoyed my freedom, yell free time to say. It is the feeling of the person. We are no one to judge how some one feels. If some one feel like I am going to have a party well go ahead, well that is my thoughts.
I hope they don't have kids. What a crappy message that would send.
One can have a party without the kids ever finding out. The kids could be away for the weekend or the parent might decide to go away for a weekend somewhere as a way celebrating with their friends.
