My records were all destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The divorce was recorded in Cook County, Ill. Does anyone know how to get copies of such records?

ok people, thanks for trying to be helpful, but here's the problem. I'm in a FEMA trailor in MS and cant go to Chicago to get a copy of my divorce decree because I work two jobs trying to rebuild my life after Katrina. I don't have vacation time yet and am just wondering if there is a website or some service that someone is aware of that can get a copy of my divorce decree, which I need for licensing requirements in the casino industry. Someone, anyone please help!

Your lawyer or the courts would both have records of your divorce . Try contacting them, I'm sure they will be happy to photocopy one for you. Good Luck

Your personal copy was destroyed or the states? If yours then you can go to the county and see if they have it. If the county then possibly they had their records backed up on a server. If so the records are still probably available somewhere.
