FAQ
Check Court Records: Visit the local family court or its website where you live. Many jurisdictions provide online access to court records, allowing you to search for divorce filings by name. Contact the Clerk of Court: You can directly call or visit the clerk's office at the family court.
In addition to a court-issued divorce decree, many state vital records offices provide a divorce certificate. The divorce certificate gives both people's names and the location and date of the divorce.
If you know the name of court you can contact the court directly or if you do not know where the divorce took place you can contact the Central Family Court.
The regular dissolution process begins with a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage being filed with the circuit court in the county where you and your spouse last lived together or in a county where either party resides. Either spouse may file for a dissolution of marriage.
Contempt erodes the bond that holds a couple securely together. It's impossible to build connection when your relationship is deprived of respect. The existence of contempt is the biggest predictor of divorce.
Copies of a final judgment of dissolution of marriage filed in Palm Beach County are available from the Clerk's Records Service Center. You may obtain the Official Records book and page number by searching the Official Records.
Service must take place within 120 days of filing the petition with the court. Most divorce papers are served within one week of filing the petition. After the divorce papers are served to the non-filing spouse, they have 20 days to respond to the summons.
You cannot serve these papers on the other party yourself or by mail or hand delivery. Personal service must be made by the sheriff's department in the county where the other party lives or works or by a private process server certified in the county where the other party lives or works.
Before commencing on the topic of what to do when served with divorce papers, it is important to point out that, under Florida law, the divorce papers must be served on you by the sheriff, or a person designated by the sheriff, in the county where you are located.
Court Hearings If you filed a regular Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, then only one of you will be required to appear at the final hearing. In a contested divorce proceeding, both parties MUST attend the final hearing or trial.
