Klamath Divorce Records Search
In Klamath County, divorce cases (dissolution of marriage) are handled by the Circuit Court, the only court of general jurisdiction at the county level in Oregon. The court's office maintains a complete court file: judgment of dissolution, property settlement agreements, child custody and support orders, as well as all related motions and orders.
The state maintains a separate registry. The Center for Health Statistics at the Oregon Health Authority registers the fact of divorce and issues certified divorce certificates — a short document confirming the fact, without details of property agreements. Basic information about the case can be checked online through the Oregon Judicial Department's record search system.
