Rapides Parish Divorce Records

Details of the legal end of a marriage, officially called a divorce, are, in practice, preserved and maintained by the 9th Judicial District Court as Rapides Parish divorce records. Under the Louisiana Public Records Act, which also guides court records, divorce records are subject to public examination. While one may find summarized information in a publicly available record, a detailed record, a certified copy, or a divorce decree may only be available to parties to the case or other authorized individuals.

The procedure for obtaining a divorce record mirrors the process for retrieving any court record. The inquirer would need to create an account if they are opting for the online case management system, or visit the clerk's office to inspect the records in person. There is also the option of sending a written request via mail. In any of the searches one chooses, the requester would need the name of one of the spouses or a case number.
