How can I get a copy of my divorce decree?

In Virginia, you can receive a copy of your divorce decree by filing a copy request form with the court. You can find this form online through the circuit court’s website in the county in which your divorce was finalized. If your divorce was finalized in a city court, you will need to contact the court to request a form. Once you have completed the form, you will need to return it to the court or mail it to the court clerk’s office. You may need to pay a fee for the copy request. It is important to include all the necessary information on the form including the case number, parties involved, date of divorce, and any other required information. Once the form has been processed, you will receive a certified copy of the divorce decree in the mail to the address you provided on the form. The receipt you receive from the court can be used to prove that your copy request was processed. If you do not receive a copy of your decree within a few weeks, you should contact the court clerk’s office to inquire about the status of your request.
