Davis County Divorce Records Search
Divorce cases in Davis County are handled by the Second Judicial District Court, which serves Davis, Morgan, and Weber counties. The court clerk's office maintains the official case files, including divorce decrees, petitions, settlement agreements, custody orders, and other filings associated with each case. These records are generally public, though certain documents — particularly those involving children or sensitive financial disclosures — may be restricted under Utah Code of Judicial Administration Rule 4-202.02.
The Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics separately maintains divorce certificates for divorces that occurred statewide from 1978 to 2010. For historical Davis County divorce records predating the modern court system, the Utah Division of Archives maintains an index to the Davis County Probate Court Divorce Register.

Where Divorce Records Are Filed in Davis County
In Utah, divorce is a civil matter handled exclusively by the district courts.

Where you go depends on what you need:
- Full divorce case file (decree, petition, property settlement, custody orders, motions): Contact the Second Judicial District Court clerk in Farmington. You can search for case information online through the Xchange public case search portal, or if you are a party to the case, through MyCourtCase.
- Divorce certificate (a summary vital record, not the full decree): The Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics holds divorce certificates for divorces finalized between 1978 and 2010. For divorces after 2010 or before 1978, contact the district court directly.
- County records requests under GRAMA: The Davis County Clerk's office handles public records requests for county government records under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act. Divorce case files themselves are court records, not county records, so the court clerk is the correct contact for those.
