Online may not have the copy available, call the courthouse in the locality where your divorce was finalized and see about getting a copy of that judgement, since it is 16 year since the divorce, it may be kept on microfiche and need to be retrieved.

It depends entirely upon the jurisdiction, the level of privacy protection accorded divorce records in that state, and, of course, exactly what you mean by a divorce court judgment. Here in New York, the records would be in the office of the county clerk in which the divorce is granted.
Some county clerks have put many records on line, others have not. But beyond the bare fact that a divorce was granted on a certain date, the case records of matrimonial cases are sealed (including the actual judgment itself), available only to the parties and their attorneys of record - and thus they're not online.

Databases like Lexis will give the case number and status, but the judgment itself will require a trip to the courthouse. If that's inconvenient, process serving companies will often do it for a very reasonable fee. Usually less than $100 plus the cost of the copies.

Depends on where it is. You may have to do a public record search or ask someone to go to the courthouse to pull it.
