Divorce files in Utah: contents and access

Utah divorces are district court cases filed where either spouse has lived for at least 90 days and kept by the district court clerk. Rule 4-202.02(4)(B)(i) of the Code of Judicial Administration, amended effective May 18, 2026, makes the records in a Title 81 domestic relations action private, except the case history, judgments, orders, decrees, letters of appointment and the record of public hearings, and the courts state that a rule change effective April 1, 2012 made some records in divorce cases private. The Financial Declaration under Rule 26.1, served rather than filed until a hearing needs it, is private when filed; the decree with its property and alimony terms is public; the petition, answer, stipulations, parenting plans and child support worksheets are private and open only to the persons in Rule 4-202.03(3).

Xchange, the subscription search, shows case information and sells images of public documents while withholding private records; public terminals and a Request for Court Record form at the clerk's office give a non-party the case history, orders and decree at 25 cents per sheet. The Utah asset search page explains what the decree still shows.

Straight answers

Utah court record questions

Open only the answer you need.

Are court records free?

State court records are usually free to view at the courthouse and often free online, with per-page fees for certified copies. PACER charges $0.10 per page (capped at $3.00 per document), waived under $30 per quarter.

Do sealed cases show up?

No. A sealed case is hidden from the public docket index by court order. Its existence may still be confirmable by number, but documents are not accessible.

What's the difference between civil and criminal court records?

Civil cases involve disputes between parties (contracts, torts, family). Criminal cases are brought by the government. Both are indexed by the same court clerks but tracked in separate sub-dockets.

Can I search every court at once?

Not in one search. PACER covers all federal courts. Most states have a statewide judiciary portal that covers their state courts, but a few require per-county lookups. This page links to Utah's official portal.
