Q: If I file for divorce in Florida, will that be made public the date that I filed
Will I be able to view it online
A: The record will be available on the clerk's website after you file. Access to the actual content of the documents filed varies across the state. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
Deborah Annette Carroll and Pamela J. Fero agree with this answer
A: In most counties, as soon as you file the case anyone can access the docket online which shows only the title of what was filed and not the actual document. But, there are some counties where you can access the records online almost immediately after they are filed. In addition, most courthouses will have a viewing room where you can access the cases on one of the court's computers. There you can access and pull documents for a fee.
