• Duplicate divorce certificate/decree

The divorce happened in the year 2000. Do not remember the exact date. 
On contacting the family court with a rough month estimate of when I think it happened, they couldn’t locate any document. 
On contacting the ex- spouse, that party is not willing to share the document or any details with me. 
I really need the document. Please help.

Contact the Advocate who handled your divorce to see if he has a copy of the decree. If your Advocate is deceased or retired, he may have given his records to another Advocate in the practice. If so, contact that Advocate to see if he has your records.

1. Send a RTI application to curt seeking necessary information with available information you hvae.

2. There is a filing register in every court which is maintained even today. So from the filing register it is not so difficult to get this information.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have not been able to track your records/ order of divorce petition.
  2. I advice you to please contact to the “Doshara” department of that concerned court.
  3. As after these many years, your file may have gone there for future use, if any.

1. In which court, the said decree of divorce was passed?

 

2. If it was passed in India, then engage a local law clerk who will arrange to get information about the said case against receipt of money.

 

3. Since it had taken place before 18 years, some one at the Court shall have to enterv in to the record room and search for the said record which he will do only after receiving good amount of payment.

1. The record is there for sure.

 

2. The record has been kept in the record room where in old records are kept and there must be lots of dust accumulated in the said 18 year old record.

 

3. The peon of the Court shall have to take initiative to trace the said record from the record room which he will do only after getting his palm well greased.

Without proper details you cannot locate the records that too as old as18 years.

To my knowledge without proper details no records can be traced because there were no computerized records maintained then.

However you contact any local advocate who sometimes may be able to trace it by permutation and combination method.
