You can view or obtain copies of divorce records from Hillsborough County in several ways.  

Online:

If you do not require a certified copy of a divorce record, you can search our HOVER Case Search portal online for free and get information about the divorce parties, dates, etc. Click on "I want to search by Individual or Business Name" and type in the name of the person (party) for which you are seeking divorce information. The Case Category for a divorce would be "Family". The Case Type would be "Dissolution of Marriage" (you may want to select all three Dissolution of Marriage case types if you don't know what kind of divorce it was), or you can leave this Case Type blank. Once you find the person you are looking for, click on the magnifying glass icon on the left column to view the divorce record summary. Florida law does not permit the viewing of images of the divorce records themselves online, just the party information and dates.

If you need more information about the divorce, or want a certified copy of the actual divorce documents, you will need to request those by mail, phone or in person. There is a charge of $2 for each year searched; $1 per page for copies of the document being requested; and $2 for certifying the document.
