Where can you obtain divorce records?

Divorce records are legal documents that are filed with the court, making the relevant Superior Court the primary and most authoritative source for obtaining such records. Each county’s Superior Court maintains its own records of divorce proceedings, which are public unless otherwise sealed. When accessing these records, individuals often need to provide details such as the names of the parties involved and the date of the divorce, as this information helps to locate the specific case file in the court's records.

While local law enforcement does not typically handle divorce records, and the Department of Vital Statistics usually manages birth and death certificates, not divorce decrees, it is also possible to obtain documents from the attorney who handled the divorce case. However, the attorney may not have the official court documents and might refer you back to the court for the complete record. Thus, for the most direct and accurate access, the Superior Court is the correct choice.
