About Wisconsin, U.S., Divorce Index, 1965-1984

This database contains an index to divorces granted in Wisconsin between 1965 and 1984. Information listed includes:

  • Names of husband and wife

  • Ages of husband and wife

  • Divorce date

  • Divorce county

It is important that you use the information found in this database to locate your relative in the original records that this index references. Usually more information is available in the records themselves than is found in an index. For example, divorce certificates may list marriage information, birth information, names of children, or the cause for divorce.

Copies of divorce certificates can be obtained through the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services. For information on how to do this, visit the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services website (http://dhfs.wisconsin.gov/).
