We built this site to help the public locate family court case records, court dockets, and related public filings. You must follow all local, state, and federal laws when you use our search tools. You also confirm that the details you enter into our forms are correct and lawful. If you break any part of these terms, your right to use the site ends right away.

By using the site, you confirm that you meet this age rule and that you have the legal right to enter this agreement. We do not target children, and we do not collect data from minors on purpose. If you operate this site on behalf of a group, company, or agency, you confirm that you have full authority to accept these terms for that entity.
What This Service Provides
This site serves as a public records search portal for family court case records, court filings, and judicial documents. We collect data from official state and county court databases, public case indexes, and government record systems. Our goal is to make family court records easier to locate through one simple search tool. We do not represent any court, government body, or law office. Our service works only as a research aid for the general public. We aim to give fast and clear access to public docket entries and case information.
Types of Records You Can Search
Our search tools cover a wide range of family court records. These include divorce court records search results, child custody court records, child support court records, paternity court records, and adoption court records. You can also run a family court case number search, search family court dockets, and pull family court filings from public indexes. Each record type comes from a specific court jurisdiction. We label every result with the state, county, and court name so you know the source of the data before you view it.
What We Do Not Provide
We do not offer legal advice, attorney services, or private investigation help. We do not act as a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We do not pull sealed records, juvenile records, or any case files that a court has blocked from public view. We cannot remove, edit, or correct court records on your behalf. For any of these actions, contact the original court clerk or a licensed attorney in your state.
User Responsibilities
Every visitor must use this site in a lawful and respectful way. You agree to use the search results only for personal, educational, or non-commercial research. You will not use the data to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm any other person. You will not send automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to pull large volumes of data from our pages. You will not try to break into our systems, alter our code, or disrupt our service. Breaking any of these rules can lead to a permanent block and possible legal action.
Acceptable Use Rules
You agree to use this site for lawful family court records research only. Permitted uses include genealogy research, background checks for personal awareness, legal preparation with an attorney, journalism, and academic study. You may view, save, and print public records for your own files. You will not sell, license, or resell the data you find here in bulk. You will not post the data on another website as if it were your own product. Every use must respect the privacy and dignity of the people named in the records.
Prohibited Activities
You may not use this site to commit fraud, identity theft, or any form of unlawful conduct. You may not use the data to make decisions about credit, employment, insurance, housing, or tenant screening. You may not target children, minors, or protected individuals with unwanted contact based on court record data. You may not use our search results to publish defamatory content, doxxing content, or revenge content. You may not reverse engineer our platform, copy our database, or scrape our pages with bots. Any of these actions can result in account termination and civil or criminal penalties under state and federal law.
FCRA Compliance Notice
This site is not a consumer reporting agency. We do not provide consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The data on this site cannot be used to evaluate someone for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or any other FCRA-covered purpose. If you need a consumer report for any of these reasons, contact a licensed consumer reporting agency. By using our site, you confirm that you will not use the data in any way that triggers FCRA rules. Misuse of the data can expose you to civil liability under federal law.
Permitted Uses Under the FCRA
The FCRA permits some uses of public records, but it sets strict rules for credit, employment, and housing decisions. This site makes every record available for personal, journalistic, and educational review only. You cannot use our search results to screen a job applicant, a tenant, a loan seeker, or an insurance candidate. If you want to run a background check for any FCRA-covered purpose, you must use a background check service that follows all FCRA rules. The data here serves a research purpose and does not meet FCRA standards for any decision that affects a person’s rights, benefits, or privileges.
Records and Data Accuracy
We do our best to pull family court case records from official public sources, but we cannot promise that every record is complete, current, or error-free. Court clerks update case data at different times, and our database may lag behind the official docket by hours, days, or weeks. Typographical errors, missing data, or duplicate entries can appear. Always confirm any record against the original court source before you rely on it for legal, financial, or personal decisions.
No Guarantee of Accuracy
Every family court record we show comes from a third-party government source. We do not create the data, and we do not control how courts update their dockets. We provide the data as we receive it. We make no warranty about its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose. Court records can contain errors, outdated information, or sealed entries that later become public. You use the data at your own risk. We are not liable for losses that result from errors, omissions, or delays in the data we display.
Real-Time Updates and Sync
Our system syncs with state and county court databases on a regular schedule. Some courts update their public indexes every day, while others update weekly or monthly. The update schedule affects how fresh our search results appear. We do not control the update timing of any court system. If you need a record for a court date, hearing, or legal deadline, contact the court clerk for the most current version. Our search results serve as a starting point for research, not a final source for time-sensitive legal matters.
Intellectual Property Rights
All text, graphics, logos, search tools, database code, and software on this site belong to us or to our licensors. We protect these assets under U.S. and international copyright and trademark law. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, distribute, republish, sell, or create derivative works from our content without written permission. The family court records themselves remain the property of the original court system that created them.
Limited License to Users
We give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use this site for personal research. This license does not include the right to copy our search engine, scrape our pages, mirror our content, or build a competing service. You may share a single record link with another person for personal use. You may not embed our data in another product or service. We can revoke this license at any time if you break any rule in these terms.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our site may link to external websites run by government agencies, court clerks, or other records providers. Once you click a third-party link, you leave our site. We do not control these external sites, and we do not guarantee their content, security, or privacy practices. Review the terms and privacy policy of every external site before you use it. We are not responsible for any harm that comes from your use of a third-party site or service.
No Endorsement of Third Parties
A link to another site does not mean we endorse that site, its owners, or its services. We link to third-party sites only for the convenience of our users. We do not partner with every linked site, and we do not accept payment for most links. Some links may lead to paid services run by other companies. Always read the third-party terms before you submit payment or personal data to any external site.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential harm that comes from your use of this site. This includes losses from data errors, site downtime, security breaches, or unauthorized access to your device. We are not liable for harm that results from your reliance on a family court record you found here. We are not liable for any dispute between you and a third party that stems from your use of our service.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranty that the site will work without error or interruption. We make no warranty that the data will meet your specific needs. We make no warranty about the results you get from your search. Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those states, our liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed by state law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense that arises from your use of this site. This includes legal fees and court costs. If a third party sues us because of your actions, your misuse of the data, or your violation of these terms, you agree to cover our defense. This clause survives the end of your use of the site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time. When we post a new version, it takes effect right away. Your continued use of the site means you accept the new terms. We will show the last updated date at the top of this page. Check back often to stay current with our rules. If you do not agree with a change, stop using the site before the new terms take effect.
Termination of Access
We can suspend or block your access to the site at any time, with or without notice. We can do this if you break these terms, if you misuse the data, or if we need to protect the integrity of our service. We can also terminate the entire site or any part of it at our sole discretion. Sections on intellectual property, limitation of liability, and indemnification survive termination. The termination of your access does not relieve you of any duty that you still owe under these terms.
Governing Law and Disputes
These terms follow the laws of the United States and the state in which our company operates. Any dispute about these terms, your use of the site, or your use of the data will be handled in the state and federal courts of that jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest of the terms still apply. Our failure to enforce any right or rule does not waive that right or rule.
Official Resources for Family Court Records
For the most accurate and up-to-date family court records, contact your local court clerk or visit the official U.S. Courts website. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts maintains a national portal for public court records and case lookups. You can reach the federal court system online at uscourts.gov or by phone at (202) 502-2600. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For state and county family court records, use your state’s judicial branch website. Many state courts offer free online docket search tools that you can use alongside our service.
Frequently Asked Questions
This section answers common questions about our Terms and Conditions. It covers how the rules apply to your use of the site, what the FCRA means for your search, and what steps to take if you have a dispute. If your question does not appear here, contact us through the official channels listed above. Our support team can help you with account issues, data questions, and other concerns related to your use of the site. Please review the answers below before you reach out for help.
Can I use these records for a background check?
You can use the data on this site for personal background research, but you cannot use it for any FCRA-covered purpose. This includes hiring, firing, tenant screening, loan decisions, and insurance underwriting. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires consumer reports to come from a licensed consumer reporting agency. Our site does not meet that standard. If you need a background check for employment, housing, credit, or insurance, contact a licensed screening service. Using our data for these purposes can expose you to civil liability under federal law.
How do I report an error in a record?
If you spot an error in a family court record on our site, contact the original court clerk first. Courts control their own records and can correct errors at the source. After the court updates the official docket, our database will sync with the new data. You can also send us a message through our support form to flag a possible error. We will review the report and pull the latest data from the court system. We do not edit court records on our own, and we only display data from official public sources.
Are sealed records visible on this site?
No. Our search tools only show public family court records. Sealed records, juvenile records, expunged records, and records under a protective order do not appear in our results. If a court seals a case, the clerk removes the case from the public docket. Our system pulls only what the court makes public. If you believe a sealed record is showing on our site, contact us right away so we can review and remove it.
What happens if I violate these terms?
We can suspend or block your access to the site at any time if you break these terms. We can also take legal action if your violation causes harm to our service, our users, or a third party. You may face civil claims or criminal charges if your misuse of the data breaks a law. Indemnification clauses mean you could owe us for legal fees, court costs, and damages. Termination of your access does not end your liability for past actions.
Do you share my search data with other parties?
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share search data with our service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting partners and analytics tools. These providers must protect your data under our contracts. We may also share data if a court order, subpoena, or law requires it. Our privacy policy explains our data practices in full. Review the policy before you use the site so you know exactly how we handle your data.
Can I link to a record from my own website?
You can share a link to a specific record page for personal, non-commercial use. You may not embed our search tool on your own site, mirror our content, or scrape our pages for bulk data. You also cannot use our records in a paid product or service. If you want to use our data in a commercial product, contact us to discuss a licensing agreement. We protect our content under U.S. copyright and trademark law.
How do I close my account or remove my data?
If you created an account on our site, you can close it through your account settings or by sending a request to our support team. We will remove your account data in line with our privacy policy. We will keep records of your account activity as required by law. Court records you searched remain in our search logs for security and legal reasons. Sealing or expunging a court record with the court is the only way to remove it from public view.
