We walk the talk insofar as our core virtue of open society goes. Yes, the American civil system soundly upholds public transparency and government accountability through our Public Records and the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act 1966) mandates that. Public Divorce Records is but only one of the several record categories upon this value that have come about over the years.

Much information is contained in public divorce records. It includes the personal particulars of the people involved and details surrounding the divorce such as date and location, filing number, alimony, child custody, asset division and so forth. A Divorce Certificate can be present too although its certified copy may have to be separately requested.
