Where Divorce Records Are Filed in Broomfield
In Colorado, divorce (dissolution of marriage) cases are handled exclusively by the District Court. Broomfield County is part of the 17th Judicial District, and all divorce cases filed here are processed through the Broomfield Combined Courts. After a divorce decree is entered by the judge, the original order remains in the court case file maintained by the clerk's office.
The type of record you need determines which office to contact:
- Court case files — including the full decree, settlement agreements, custody orders, and all filings — are available from the District Court clerk's office at Broomfield Combined Courts. You can request copies in person, by mail, or by submitting the Colorado Judicial Branch record/document request form.
- Divorce verification or certificates — the CDPHE Vital Records Office maintains a statewide record of divorces and can provide verification letters. Under C.R.S. § 25-2-117, vital records in Colorado are confidential, so access to divorce certificates through CDPHE is restricted to qualified applicants such as the parties named in the decree or their legal representatives.
- Historical divorce records — if the divorce was finalized in an earlier period and the records have been transferred, the Colorado State Archives may hold the file. Check their divorce records collection page to see which county records and time periods are available.
