Morphology
The meaning 'a lawyer who specializes in handling cases of divorce or annulment' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'divorce' (termination of a marriage) with 'lawyer' (legal practitioner); the noun–noun attributive pattern signals the lawyer's area of practice. This is a common, regular English modifier structure with clear cross‑linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Divorce lawyer creates a simple picture: a lawyer who helps people with divorce, or 'to end a marriage', by dividing money and property, arranging care for children and handling the legal papers. So, the phrase means 'a lawyer who handles divorce cases'.
