Colorado Divorce Records Information

Colorado divorce records are public records, which means anyone can look them up online without having any relationship or affiliation with the parties listed on the record. The Colorado State Archive is where you?ll go to search for the oldest records in existence, but you won?t find many from more recent years. Each county has its own set of divorce records from years past, some dating back as far as the late 1800s. If you need recent copies of divorce records, you?ll need to visit the Colorado District Court in which the divorce was filed.

Many people in Colorado need a copy of their own divorce records for specific legal purposes. It?s required of anyone who is divorced and looking to apply for a marriage license to remarry, anyone looking to claim Social Security, and anyone who is looking to claim child support from an ex-spouse. There are those who aren?t listed on Colorado divorce records who do need their own copies for various reasons, such as compiling their family tree or history. Either way, records are available for you somewhere. It merely takes knowing where to look to find the records you need.

Certified Colorado Divorce Records

Certified divorce records are legal documents. These are only available to the people who are listed on the divorce certificate, their children, or their parents. This is also available to anyone with a Power of Attorney or anyone who is legally representing either party listed on the certificate. This information is obtained by visiting the Colorado District Court where the divorce took place and providing the following information:

– Names of both parties on the certificate, including any maiden names
– Date of the divorce
– Your name
– Your photo identification
– Fee

Each court charges a fee for divorce records, but the fee is different in many courts, and it also changes based on what you want, how many you want, and how many searches are performed to find the record in question.

Finding Regular Copies

The State Archives websites has plenty of divorce records dating back much further in the 1900s. If you need one of these, this is the best place to search. You can go in person, or you can check online. There is a fee for each copy, and it?s based on how many years were searched to find the information you require.

Colorado Divorce Records Online

Colorado divorce records are pubic record, and this means anyone can look them up online. All they need is one of the names of either party listed on the certificate, internet access, and a general idea of when the divorce took place. This is done by visiting the website of the District Court where the divorce took place. It is a quick public records search, but the information that can be looked up does not count as an official copy, so no one is able to use these divorce record copies for legal purposes. This search is free, and anyone can perform a search of this nature.
