    1. [SOUTH-AFRICA] Divorce Papers
    2. Pat Brown

    3. Hi Listers, Hope this is not too peripheral. I need to get a copy of divorce papers from a case that was heard in the Durban Supreme Court in about 1995. Are these available and where would I go to look? They would not have been transfered to the National Archive yet. Thanks, Paddy

    3. Ho Pat Most of the divorce cases these days, to guard privacy for children etc., are heard in camera, ie not published as they used to be in the papers. I would imagine that as 1995 is really recent the lawyer concerned would therefore keep the papers in client records? I had not heard before that these ever go to National Archives. learn something new each day Pat Frykberg -------------------------------------------------- From: "Pat Brown" <mistyhaven@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 8:54 AM To: "Genealogy - South Africa" <south-africa@rootsweb.com> Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Divorce Papers > Hi Listers, > Hope this is not too peripheral.

The most recent ones that I have on my list to look up from the Durban Supreme Court are 1982, and those are in the Archives. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: shayes@dunelm.org.uk Web: http://hayesstw.tumblr.com/ (follow me on Tumblr) Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525
