WA Divorce Records
« on: Monday 30 April 12 18:57 BST (UK) »
I live in the UK and wondered if anybody could help me with a query.

Is it possible to obtain copies of Western Australia (Perth) Divorce Records from 1945 and if so how does one go about it please?

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin, I have had a look and as suspected there are restrictions on disclosure of records. The State Records office of Western Australia holds the records and as per their website: :-X
Series Access Status  Restricted 75 years from date of closure. Discretion Statement files are restricted for 100 years.
I don't know of any other means to access details? :P
Regards

Hi,

Have you searched in Trove for newspaper reports about the divorce?

Thanks Neil and Debbie

Newspaper reports say very little so I guess I'll have to wait until 75 years is up!!
