How do you find the state where your parents were divorced?

Answer 1

There is no central divorce database. If possible, you should ask them, other family members and friends or old neighbors where they were living when they were divorced. Then, you should contact that state's vital records department, which you should be able to find online, to see if you could obtain a copy of the record of divorce. If you can find out where they divorced you could also contact the county family court in that jurisdiction to obtain a copy of the decree.

To help you locate where your parents might have lived you might try researching their names online or through a specific search site such as Ancestry.com.
