No need to worry if you lost those divorce settlement agreement papers. Getting new copies is as easy as filling out an online form. The form can be hand-delivered to your local courthouse or sent by mail or fax -- a small fee is required in the state of New Jersey. It usually takes 10 days or less to have the copies in your hand.

Step 1

Fill out the New Jersey Judiciary records request form (Family Division) -- forms are available at your local New Jersey courthouse and online (judiciary.state.nj.us).

Step 2

Locate the appropriate case management office or municipal court -- this will be within the city or county in which the divorce occurred. Hand deliver, mail or fax requests -- a directory of case management offices and municipal courts is available online (njcourtsonline.com).

Pay fees for the requested copies -- 5 cents for letter-size and 7 cents for legal-size copy, per sheet.
