Wayne County Divorce Records

In Wayne County, divorce proceedings are initiated when a spouse (or their legal counsel) files for absolute divorce with the Clerk of Superior Court. The resulting case file, including the divorce complaint, any property settlement agreement, and the final divorce decree, becomes part of an official court record.

Divorce records in North Carolina are public records, meaning anyone may request access to the decree or case file. However, financial disclosure documents and certain sealed attachments may be restricted.

Divorce cases are domestic relations matters and are heard in the family law division of the District Court. Certified divorce decrees, which may be required for legal name changes, remarriage, and other official purposes, may be obtained from the Clerk of the Superior Court
