New Jersey Divorce Records

Divorce records are always important, but in many states such as New Jersey, they aren't kept with other vital records such as birth, marriage, and death records. In New Jersey, divorce records are considered more as court records than as vital records. However, historical divorce records which date back to before 1900 are still available through the New Jersey state archive, which keeps other historical records.

For more recent records, the New Jersey Clerk of the Superior Court is the person to contact, as their office maintains records from 1900 to 1993 and contains an index of the more recent records. Unfortunately, the Clerk's office isn't set up to take online requests for documents.

Luckily, you still may be able to find or order what you need online by using an internet public records finder to help you find records easily and quickly.
