Who This Protects

Florida Public Records and Divorce Decrees
Florida law makes many court records open to the public. This includes most Divorce Decree Records filed in the state. The Florida Public Records Act, found in Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, sets the rules for who can see these records and how they can be used.
Statewide Access Rules
In Florida, most divorce case files are open to the public once the case is closed. The clerk of court in each county holds the official file. Many clerks offer online search portals where you can look up cases by name, case number, or filing date. Some records may be sealed by a judge’s order. Sealed records are not open to the public.
County-Level Differences
Each of the 67 Florida counties runs its own clerk office. Each office sets its own search tools, fees, and copy rules. For example, the Hillsborough County Clerk of Court and the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court each run their own portal. The Lee County Clerk and the Orange County Clerk also have their own systems. Always check the rules for the county where the divorce was filed.
Sealed and Restricted Records
A judge can seal a divorce file in full or in part. This happens in cases that involve minors, domestic violence, or sensitive financial data. A sealed record cannot be viewed without a court order. You may not use this site to try to reach sealed records. If you need a sealed record, you must ask the court for permission.
Accuracy of Divorce Decree Records Data
The site works hard to share correct steps and links. Still, public records change often. Clerks update case files, seal records, and correct errors. The state may change its rules. A county portal may be down for maintenance. Because of this, the site cannot promise that every piece of data is always correct, current, or complete.
Where the Data Comes From
The site gathers its facts from official Florida court sites, clerk portals, state statutes, and trusted legal sources. Each page shows the date it was last updated. Staff review pages on a regular basis. Even so, a fact that was true last month may have changed. Always confirm the most current rule with the issuing office.
