Go to the Family Court. Have the docket number. Ask the clerk for the file. Generally, the clerk's office will have a copy machine for your use. Bring change.

Family Court orders are not available online due to privacy restrictions. You need to contact the court to obtain any record in a family court case, and will only be able to obtain it if you are the plaintiff, the defendant or one of the attorneys of record.
