Divorces are found in legislative papers prior to 1834.&nbsp; The state constitution of 1834 then gave authorized courts the power to grant divorces.&nbsp; They are normally found in individual county circuit courts.&nbsp; Divorce records for the past fifty years are available at the Tennessee Office of Vital Records.&nbsp; Some 750 statewide early divorce records extracted from legislative papers can be found in Gale W. Bamman and Debbie W. Spero, ''Tennessee Divorces, 1797-1858 ''(Nashville: G. Bamman, 1985).&nbsp; The Family History Library has a copy of this book (976.8 P2b).
