Wilkes County Divorce Records

Divorces are civil matters filed in the Wilkes District Court. If a couple chooses to legally end their marriage, the filings, along with the final divorce decree, become part of the court records maintained by the Clerk of Superior Court. Divorce records are generally public in North Carolina, meaning the final judgment is available for public inspection. However, documents involving minors, financial affidavits, and sealed records usually have restricted access.

Divorce decrees can be accessed through the North Carolina Judiciary's eCourts Portal, by visiting the courthouse in person, or by submitting a written request to the Clerk of Superior Court. Certified copies, often required for legal purposes such as remarriage or a name change, carry a $2 certification fee plus per-page copy costs.
