Divorce files are available to the plaintiff or defendant or their attorney of record. Divorce papers cannot be released to any other interested party. You may view or receive copies of a divorce case by mailing in a notarized letter stating the parties involved, the index number, the filing date and the type of records sought. If you appear in person at our office you must have valid identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID, US Passport, or other state or federally issued identification with a photo).

The Office of the Ulster County Clerk accepts e-filings via the New York State Courts E-Filing (NYSCEF) system.  E-Filing enables attorneys and individuals to file court documents from the convenience of their office or from any place with an internet connection at any time of day or night, every day of the year.
