Albany County Divorce Records
Albany divorce records contain information on court proceedings in divorce cases. These records are maintained by the Albany County Clerk because divorces are heard in the Supreme Court. Divorce records comprise the initial filings, child-related orders, settlement agreements, and the divorce decree. The divorce decree is the final judgment signed by the judge that officially ends the marriage.
Divorce records in Albany County are not public records for 100 years after being filed (N.Y. Dom. Rel. Law § 235), meaning only approved parties, such as those involved in the divorce, may access the record. Such persons can obtain a divorce record at the Albany County Clerk’s Office for a fee.
