Limestone County Divorce Records

A divorce case hearing in Limestone County is considered a domestic case and falls under family law. If the court grants a divorce, all records in the case files are presumed open for inspection or retrieval, except when such records are sealed or confidential by statutory provision or court order.

While one may retrieve divorce files and divorce decrees for divorces that happened prior to 1950 from the circuit clerk's office, divorce certificates for divorces that took place after 1950 are only available from the Alabama Department of Public Health. To obtain a divorce certificate, one would need to pay a $15 fee. Searches at the public health department or the Circuit Court can be conducted by providing details of the case, such as a case number, filing date, or the spouses' names.

Those who need to contact the Circuit Court for divorce record inquiries can reach the court at:
