divorce details

[grumpy]

G'day, can anyone tell me how to find details of my parents divorce, sometime in the 1940's/50's. Both parents now deceased. Any help greatly appreciated. Rob (not really grumpy) Well only sometimes!

Thanks for that Julie, any idea what I ask for. I don't want to be paying for reams of paper I don't need, just the basics, like place, date, how long and how much was awarded as child support.. Rob. o.k. (grumpy)

Hi Grumpy,

The degree nisi and aboslute wouldnt give details of child support. I would think the best thing is to get in touch with the Principal registry and go from there.
