Court Certified Copy of a Divorce Decree

[carslo 0]

Hi,

I have been trying for two months to get a court certified copy of my divorce decree from Alberta. I sent it to the Courthouse where the divorce took place, and then to the Regional Courthouse in Lethbridge, but it comes back- address unknown. Before investing in a long distance phone call, I was wondering if anyone here has gotten one out of Alberta.

Thanks,

Carslo

Do you not have a certified copy for yourself? You can send a copy of that. They have the right to ask for the original, but you can send a copy of a certified copy with your petition.

I have my original copy of my divorce decree, but from reading everything I thought I had to have a separate piece of paper from the courthouse saying "yes, she is divorced." Here in British Columbia (where I live now) you pay an extra $25.00 and get a piece of paper that states that after 30 days you are free and clear to remarry. So I am confused even before I start the process.

My Alberta Divorce Certificate is that thin tissue like piece of paper. Is that what you have?

I did get an extra copy. One of my neighbors works at the Courthouse and got another for me. Same thing- the thin piece of paper.

Thanks, but no I justhave the 20 pages like copy of my divorce. Where did you get your divorce in AB, I think mine would have gone through Lethbridge but heard in Fort Macleod. I will call Lethbridge in the next few days I guess.
