Butler County Divorce Records
Divorce records are official legal documents that certify the end of a marriage. In Butler County, these files are maintained by the Prothonotary as part of the family court system. These records are generally considered public information and are available for anyone to view unless a judge orders them sealed. Access to these records enables individuals to verify their marital status and obtain necessary documentation for legal or personal reasons.
Typical divorce records contain the names of both parties, the case number, and the dates when the action was filed and finalized. The final divorce decree is the most commonly requested document from these files. The Prothonotary's office has computerized records available back to 1993 and scanned images for more recent cases starting in 2001.
