Divorce papers?

[TheWebbys 1]

Ok, I went today to gather all the information and paperwork that I am going to need to file for the K-1 petition. I got my work history for the last 5 years and a round about history of my living history for the last 5 years, birth certificate and copies of my divorce papers. Now, what I am wondering is.. about the divorce papers.. (I swear that file was a mile wide), do I need a copy of every page in that folder from the clerk of court's office or just the "Final Judgement and Decree"??? I made sure I got two copies of that because it had to be notarized and I wanted to have backups of all original documents. Now I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that I did indeed get the right document, because I can't seem to find that page for reference for the life of me.

You need the final judgement and decree and it needs to have the "entered" date and stamp of the court on it. In can be a copy, but the stamp must be legible.

Thank goodness. That is what I got was the "final judgement and decree". I did NOT get copies. All original documents. Everything sealed and notorized! yay one step closer!

So they don't need the whole marital settlement agreement which is like 10 pages on mine? Just the top 2 that is the decree with the stamps on official signatures on it?

LOL I wondered about that when I was there getting mine yesterday until my sister put it in perspective for me. I think her exact words were.. "They need to know your divorced and it's settled.. not who got the dog". Cracked me up, but it made sense to me.
