How far back do the records go?

Our internet records go back to 10/17/94 How do I look up a case? There are two ways to look up a case. • You can search by a name, to see a list of any cases in which the person is a party. • You can enter the case number to find a particular case. Can I see the filings in a case? No, just the docket, which is a summary of the parties in the case, the attorneys and a brief description of the items filed in the case. Where can I get a copy of my divorce decree or other documents in a case? You (or your representative) can either come to the Clerk of Courts office or request a copy by mail. The cost is $0.25 per page and $1.00 per page to have the document certified. If you request a copy by mail, please include your case number (if you know it), the names of the parties, the year the divorce was filed and your return address. The average cost for the certified copy and postage is $5.00. If you include a check in that amount, we will bill you for any additional fee if the cost is more.
