How do I get a copy of my marriage and divorce decree without paying $85 plus each?

Generally, in most cases a final judgment of dissolution of marriage is two or three pages when uncontested, or could be as many as twenty pages or more if resulting from a contested trial. Even so, most clerks offices are charging $1 to $1.50 per page, and a few dollars more to certify the copy, which is unlikely to reach $85, unless you are trying to get a copy of the settlement agreement, too, the cost of which will depend upon the number of pages. In some instances, if you qualify as "indigent," you may be able to obtain the copies at little or no cost to you. Check with the clerk's office in question to see if you qualify and if so, how to go about it.

Contact the Clerk of Courts for the county where they are filed.The usual copy fee is fifty cents per page.

You will need a certified copy so you have to pay the clerk fee.

Can go down to the courthouse ask to see your file and get copies. I believe the court will charge per page around $.50 or one dollar.

It is 2 bucks per page, depending upon the number of pages. A final judgment is usually only a few pages long.
