Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
For a divorce to be valid, there must be two just men who hear the declaration, whether the husband tells them to witness or not. They must be present together when hearing the declaration; if one hears it in one gathering and the other hears it in a separate gathering later, the divorce does not take effect.
May you be successful in all good.
