Hamilton County Divorce Records

Divorce records serve as official proof of a marriage’s legal termination and are essential for allocating debts and assets between former spouses. These documents are considered public in Ohio and may be requested by any individual, provided they have not been sealed by judicial order. Generally, a divorce record contains the names of both parties, the assigned case number, the date the dissolution was finalized, and the judge’s signed decree.

Interested persons can complete the Document Request Form and submit it via postal mail, fax, or in person at the Hamilton County Courthouse, Domestic Relations Division. Certified copies of the final decree are often necessary for administrative functions such as updating a driver’s license name, applying for Social Security benefits, or for remarriage.
