Windham County Divorce Records

Divorce (dissolution of marriage) is a legal proceeding initiated to legally end a marriage and assign/resolve rights, responsibilities, and obligations. These proceedings are heard in the Family Division of the Connecticut Superior Court operating in the Windham Judicial District.

Divorce case information can be accessed through the online Civil/Family Case Look-up system provided by the Connecticut Judicial Branch or in person at the filing courthouse.

Notably, there are some restrictions enforced by law or judicial order. For example, the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) prohibits certain details about domestic restraining orders from being published on a publicly accessible website to secure victim safety. Additionally, actual divorce document images or filings are not available online and must be obtained from the Judicial District Clerk's Office at the court location listed below.

Fees apply to obtain plain or certified copies from the clerk. For example, individuals must pay a $25 flat fee to obtain a certified copy of the final divorce decree (referred to as the "Judgment File") (C.G.S. § 52-259(g)).
