Do you remember what county court the divorce was filed at? If you can, you can write to or telephone the County Court and ask to speak to the Family Team. Tell them you would like a copy of your decree absolute and say you can't remember the exact year. If you can find anything at all, a letter from a solicitor, anything with the court reference on it, that will help a lot. The court reference starts with a couple of letters that tell you which court dealt with the matter. It is then followed by two numbers that tell you what year it was filed (not what year it finished) and then a further four digit number that says how many similar matters had been filed that year by the time yours was filed. So in Colchester, it might be CO051000 - that would mean it was at Colchester in 2005 and yours was the 100th divorce to be filed.
It shouldn't cost you much - literally just a couple of pounds - to get a copy of your decree absolute once the Family team have found the file. If for any reason they can't identify it, you might have to apply to the Principal Registry of the Family Division, Registry of Decree Absolutes, but that will cost you more money because they will have to do a search for it.
If solicitors were involved, you could call them, even if they were acting for your ex and not you, and very nicely ask them if they have any papers left from that long ago. Normally they only keep files archived for about 6 years but if there were any children they might have kept the file until the youngest child reaches 21.
Good luck, Christine.

You can go to the county clerk's office, where your divorce was granted. They generally charge a small fee to obtain a copy of your divorce papers.

You have to go to the court where your divorced was finalized and for a fee they will give you a copy.

You don't have to visit anyone to get a replacement. It will cost you a small amount but all you need to do is phone the registrars office,give as much detail as possible and they will guide you..
