How to Search Fishers Divorce Records

Start with Indiana's statewide MyCase portal at mycase.in.gov. This free tool covers Hamilton County and lets you search by name, case number, or party. Most cases from recent years appear here with basic case details and some document images. It is the fastest way to check if a case exists before making the drive to Noblesville.

The Hamilton County Records Request page gives you another option. You can submit a records request online for Hamilton County cases. This works well when you know the case exists and just need copies sent to you without an in-person visit.

For in-person access, go to Suite 106 at the Hamilton County Courthouse. Bring a photo ID and the names of both parties or the case number. Staff can pull the file and let you review it. If you need copies, the fee is $1.00 per page. Certified copies cost more -- see the fees section below.

Divorce Filing Requirements for Fishers Residents

To file for divorce in Hamilton County, at least one spouse must have lived in Indiana for six months and in Hamilton County for three months. This is required under Indiana Code 31-15-2-6. Fishers is entirely within Hamilton County, so residency here counts toward the county requirement.

Indiana law sets a mandatory 60-day waiting period after the petition is filed. Indiana Code 31-15-2-10 states that no final decree can be entered before those 60 days expire. This applies even if both spouses agree on everything. The clock starts when the petition is filed, not when the other spouse is served.

Filing fees in Hamilton County are approximately $157 to $177 depending on the case type. The clerk's Records Request page has current fee information. Additional fees may apply for service of process, sheriff fees, or copies of specific documents.
