| In 1849, authority was given to county circuit courts to grant divorces. These records can be requested from the Clerk of the County Court. Some Circuit Clerk offices may have records as early as 1802. The FamilySearch Library has divorce records from some Kentucky counties. These records may be found under court records or vital records of the individual county. Since 1958 divorce records have been filed in Frankfort on a state-wide basis. Send for these records to the Office of Vital Statistics. By 1972, the word divorce was replaced with the term "dissolution of marriage". | | In 1849, authority was given to county circuit courts to grant divorces.
