Divorce Information
Divorce
records are maintained by the court of common pleas in each county.
Prior to 1851, the records were found in either the county supreme
court, the county chancery court, or the county common pleas court.
Appeals were made to the state legislature. After 1913 divorces were
handled by a division of the county court of common pleas known as the
domestic relations court. Please contact the court of common pleas of
the county where the divorce was filed to request records.
