Obtain a copy of a document filed in your divorce case from the Judicial District Clerk's Office in the court location where the divorce took place. Your divorce decree is referred to as the "Judgment File."

NOTE: The Vital Records Office does not receive copies of divorce decrees.

The Clerk's Office will need your case name and docket number (the number that was assigned to the case).

The divorce decree is a document that finalizes a divorce and specifies financial and legal details of the divorce. Every person who has been through a divorce should have this legal record. Occasionally, divorce papers are required to prove the existence of a marriage or divorce for a mortgage, veteran's claim or even a family event like adoption.
