Fayette County Divorce Records

Fayette County divorce records exclusively document all information related to the legal process of dissolving a marriage in the county. In Fayette County, the term divorce record generally encompasses two files: the divorce case file and the divorce decree. The divorce case file is the comprehensive record of all proceedings in the case, including the original petition, the spouse’s response, affidavits, and any settlement agreements. The divorce decree is the final judgment signed by the judge and is generally required for certain applications, such as remarriage or a name change.

Divorce records are generally deemed public records in Fayette County and are accessible to any interested party who provides sufficient search information. Certain sensitive details, such as Social Security and bank account numbers, are usually redacted to prevent identity theft. Records may also be redacted for privacy reasons.

Individuals can access divorce information online (docket only) on the Clerk of Court’s Docket page. Copies of the record can be obtained in person at the Clerk of Court’s Office or by request through the eCertification portal.
