Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Divorce Decree

How do I obtain a copy of my divorce decree after being divorced about 30 years and living in a different state? I was divorced in Somerville in 1976 and now live in Chicago and need a copy.My search shows I may need to pay $20 but I'm unemployed.

Re: Divorce Decree

You can write to the Probate and Family Court and request a copy and ask them what the Charge for it would be. It would be best if you have the case number for reference. their address is

Probate and Family Court Department

Middlesex County Division

208 Cambridge Street

P.O. Box 410480

East Cambridge, MA 02141

You could also write the law firm who handled the matter for you if they are still in business.
