Hello,

You may just approach the court with the details (case no. and date of order) and get the certified copy of the order.

Your lawyer can do the same for you.

If some help is required you can contact me.

There's no problem at all. He just needs to pull out a certified copy of the divorce decree. This will be an authenticated copy which will also bear the certification of the Court.

Best assured, it will be valid for all purposes.

Hi

If your friend can let any person( parents/ lawyers)know the following

a) Case Number

b) name of the court,

c) year of filing of divorce,

d) year of grant of divorce and

e) names of parties,

then the person can apply for a copy application of divorce decree from the respective court and hand it over to your friend.

A copy of divorce decree will be issued within 20 working days from the date of making the copy application.

Please note that only parents, lawyers so appointed by the party can apply for copy application.

Hope this information is useful..

If the divorce decree papers were lost, yo can approach your lawyer to apply for certified copies once again and fetch it for you on his terms.

Your lawyer or if your friend is a party to the case, can apply for copies before the court directly.
