Lemma 37.23.3. Let $f : X \to S$ be a morphism of schemes. Let $x \in X$ be a point with image $s \in S$. Assume
$f$ is locally of finite presentation,
$f$ is flat at $x$, and
$\mathcal{O}_{X_ s, x}$ has $\text{depth} \geq 1$.
Then there exists an affine open neighbourhood $U \subset X$ of $x$ and an effective Cartier divisor $D \subset U$ containing $x$ such that $D \to S$ is flat and of finite presentation.
Proof. Pick any $h \in \mathfrak m_ x \subset \mathcal{O}_{X, x}$ which maps to a nonzerodivisor in $\mathcal{O}_{X_ s, x}$ and apply Lemma 37.23.1. $\square$
