Re: lookin for divorce document information

You cannot see divorce papers online. They are confidential. Only the attorneys or the parties can see them, in person, at the County Clerk's office. If you need help getting your divorce papers in New York City or Long Island, please feel free to call me at (516) 741-7799.

Re: lookin for divorce document information

Mr. Braverman is only partly right.

You can search online at a site called www.e-law.com. The search is free. The site will let you know the index number and whether the divorce was granted.

Furthermore, you can telephone a number given on the site, give credit card information and for a small fee an individual will retrieve a certified copy of your divorce papers.

Re: lookin for divorce document information

If I understand your question correctly, you are looking for the divorce documents that pertain to your marriage. You will not find these online. You must go to the county clerk in the county where you were divorced.

Re: lookin for divorce document information

Papers in divorce actions are not available to the public and therefore, should not be available online. Only the parties andtheir attorneys may access the files.
