Franklin County Divorce Records

Divorce records in Franklin County detail the legal proceedings in a dissolution of marriage case. These documents are managed primarily by the Prothonotary’s office as part of the county’s family court system. While the public can generally access case dockets and basic information to confirm a legal status, the court restricts access to sensitive details, including medical records and financial documents.

In Franklin County, divorce records typically contain a unique case number, the full names of both spouses, and the specific dates when the action was initiated and concluded. The divorce decree is the most essential document within these records, providing official proof of the dissolution. Because this decree is often required to update identification, such as driver’s licenses or social security cards, the Prothonotary’s office allows individuals to obtain certified copies upon payment of a fee.
