Where Divorce Records Are Filed in Dunn County
Wisconsin uses a unified circuit court system, and the Dunn County Circuit Court handles all divorce and family law cases filed in the county. After a judge signs the divorce judgment, the decree becomes part of the permanent court file maintained by the Clerk of Courts office.
The court file is the most complete record. It contains every document filed during the case — the petition, financial disclosures, stipulations, hearing transcripts (if ordered), and the final judgment. If you need the full divorce decree or any specific filing from the case, contact the Clerk of Courts.
Separately, the court reports divorce information to the Wisconsin Vital Records Office, which issues divorce verification certificates. These certificates confirm that a divorce took place and list basic details such as the names of the parties, the date, and the county. They do not include settlement terms or custody arrangements.
