Maryland Divorce ~ Baltimore Maryland Divorce Records
The Maryland State Archives has divorce records or Baltimore City and several Maryland counties as far back as the 1980's. The Archives is the only place you can obtain Baltimore City records including indexes through 1982. Depending on jurisdiction, dates and availability vary.
If you would like to obtain a divorce file you will need to know the county and court that granted the divorce, names of parties, case number, and approximate date. The Archives may have the case number available if it is unknown. The most current records are Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County. If your request is from a different area in Maryland you may call the circuit court where the original hearing was held to obtain the case number or request the Archives to do all additional research for a fee.
The Archives cannot check every county for approximate dates if you do not have that information. For divorces granted before January 1992, there is no statewide index available to Archives that will provide them with such information. If you have this issue, the Archives will use all resources available to find your missing information for a fee. For divorces granted after January 1992 to current day The Division of Vital Records, Reisterstown Plaza, 6550 Reisterstown Road, Baltimore Maryland 21215 can verify the county where and the date when the divorce occurred, but can not issue a certified copy of the decree. The courts must usually issue a certified copy of later cases.
