Monmouth County Divorce Records

Monmouth County divorce records are court documents created when a divorce case is filed and then processed through the court system. These records are generated and maintained by the Family Division of the Monmouth County Vicinage of the New Jersey Superior Court. Divorce records exist to provide a formal record of the case, confirm that the marriage was legally ended under state law, and protect the rights of both parties.

In New Jersey, divorce records are generally considered public records, access to some information is more limited than in other civil cases. Basic case information, such as the couple’s names, case number, the finalized date, and the location of the divorce, is usually open to the public. The file may also contain or reference the divorce decree or final judgment, which outlines all the court’s decisions on matters like support, child custody, and asset division. However, sensitive details, including details about minor children, custody details, and financial evaluations, are restricted from public access.

Interested parties may Locate Divorce Records at the Superior Court where the case was heard or by contacting the State Superior Court Clerk’s Office. For inquiries about requesting divorce records, record seekers may contact the Customer Service Unit of the Superior Court Clerk’s Office at (609) 421 -6100 or the Monmouth County Family Division at (732) 358-8700 ext. 87908.
