Q: How do i get a copy of divorce certificate when the full name of one spouse is unknown & date of divorce in unknown?

A: Good morning and thank you for using JUSTIA. There are two ways for you to achieve your quest. The first way is to request the divorce decree from the court and the second way is to request the certificate from the Registry of demografic records (Registro Demografico). Your best bet is to do an on-line search of the court records in your beloved father's name and with the information you discover request the certificate from the Registro Demografico. You can do the on-line search using the following link;

Once you enter the link just enter the first and both last names of your beloved father and press search (buscar). It will take a few minutes and you will be redirected to the case log under said name. Look for your beloved father's case and once found press the name. This will open the case and there you can find the needed information of the spouses name, date of court decree and court house. With this information you can get the death certificate from the Registro Demografico in one day. If however you need copy of the court decree then yoy can request it at the court house or the central archives but it will take 6 weeks or more to get the document since more than likely this document has been sent to the central archives due to it being issued more than five years ago. If by chance said decree is still at the original court house then you can get a copy same day.

If you need additional information or assistance with thus or any other legal matter please feel free to contact me.
