Divorce Records

Elf Owl asked:


I want to see divorce records, probably from Detroit, time range 1905-1935, for genealogical research. However, the only way I have found of doing this is having them extracted in Lansing for $50 each- not in my budget! Any ideas? Thanks!
Added later- Thanks for the Raogk idea! The only problem is, you have to pay the expenses of those volunteers (for good reason) and they would still require the $50 fee. What I am wondering is, is there another place to get these records?

These are old records going back 25 to 30 years and if I can;t find them they won’t let me adopt my grandson. I have found several sites but they all seem shady and want money – has anyone else faced this problem and how did you resolve it! I need help!

Vickie asked:


I am totally sure that the guy my sister is seeing is still married. All the signs point to it. He has no good explanations about where he has been when he leaves. Sometimes he goes out for a gallon of milk at the store and comes back three hours later. He is from a big town a few hours away, so I don’t know his entire background, but there were rumors that he had been married. Anyway, can I get divorce records free in order to nail this guy in a lie?

Not just the decree, but the supporting documentation? I didn’t have an attorney (i know stupid me) so I need to get it from the courts, just not sure how.

Katie asked:


I accidentally stumbled on my parents custody papers over me and my brothers and found many things that i wasn’t told as a child. Now that I’m an adult, I’d really like to see their original divorce papers. The file I found about the custody papers popped up really easy on google, but i can’t find the divorce papers without having to subscribe to a website. How can I find these without having to pay for them?
