Iowa divorce records have been kept since about 1834, when the first Iowa county was formed. They may also provide: a person’s age, occupation, and places the family lived.
Early divorce proceedings are in the district court of each county. Beginning in 1906, each county sent transcribed copies of divorce records to the state.
