Divorce records are generally in two parts: DIVORCE RECORDS & DIVORCE DECREES and are available through the Alaska Court System only. DIVORCE CERTIFICATES are available through the Bureau of Vital Statistics. DIVORCE RECORD: A divorce record is all of the pages filed in a divorce. In some divorce settlements the records can be several pages long. DIVORCE DECREE: A divorce decree is a ruling that summarizes the rights and responsibilities of the divorced parties. It’s a document that states the basic information regarding the divorce, case number, parties, date of divorce, terms the parties have agreed upon. The Decree is usually only a few pages long. Decrees are available through the court. DIVORCE CERTIFICATE: Is a one page document outlining who is divorced, when, and where the divorce took place. A certificate is available only through the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
