Divorce Records in Connecticut: What You May Find
As with any other U.S.
state, the details you will find in Connecticut divorce records contain several
pertinent information besides the parties' names. However, don't expect them to
always be complete.
The state judicial database
files divorce records by Connecticut county as well as by the name of the
persons involved. However, the state does not file divorce records based on
inclusive years.
Each record will provide, among
other data:
1. Date of
filing
2. Date of
disposition
3. Names of
parties in a case
4. Docket number
5. Case type
6. Summary
7. Lawyers in a
case
Divorce
records in Connecticut are available at the State Judicial Branch website's
Civil and Family Lookup page.
Official courthouse divorce
records in Connecticut are kept up to date. They include all case data
accomplished by the close of court hours of the preceding day.
A Connecticut court typically
schedules cases two weeks in advance. It will generally make its assignment list
available every Thursday after 6 o'clock in the morning. Its short calendar is
usually ready every Monday at the same time.
The official policy is to
display data on divorce records in Connecticut within a year to a maximum of 10
years after disposition. However, the Connecticut Practice Book may specify a
shorter display time.
If a case is sealed, the court
will determine whether information may be disclosed or not.
Divorce Records
in Connecticut: Are They Complete?
No, says the free newsletter,
Public Records Update. In its June 2005 issue, it says Connecticut's
official online civil records are incomplete.
Although official policy, as
stated on the website, says that records will be accessible to 10 years, the
state regularly purges its database. This means certain cases could be deleted
from the site even less than a year following disposition.
Examples of these cases are
those that end in:
·
Dismissal
·
Settlement
·
Stipulated judgment
·
Withdrawal
The newsletter points out that
only recently, more than half the records were removed. The purging brought the
number of records available online down to 145,000, from 309,000.
For Connecticut, at least,
an online records search could prove to be sorely insufficient. It is indeed
very likely that researchers will still have to verify data manually to get a
clear idea of the litigation background of anyone in Connecticut.
