Cranbrook Supreme Court divorce orders

  • GR-4245
  • Series
  • 1969-1979, predominately 1972-1978

Series consists of original decrees nisi, decrees absolute, divorce orders, and judgements created between 1972 and 1979 by the Cranbrook Supreme Court. Also includes 1969-1975 monthly lists of returned certified copies of decrees from the Cranbrook Court Registry and acknowledgements of the returns by Vital Statistics. Between 1968 and 1985, a judgement by way of decree nisi required a three-month waiting period before a judgement by way of decree absolute could be applied for. During this time, a divorce was not legally in effect without a decree absolute.

Initially, orders, decrees nisi, and decrees absolute are filed together and arranged by case file number, not by volume and folio or by date. This means that records of varying dates are interfiled. Beginning 1 October 1975, records were separated and arranged by volume and folio numbers. As such, cases started but not completed before 30 September 1975 may be found under a case file number, volume and folio numbers, or by both. The records were scheduled for full retention under Court Services ORCS (schedule 100152) 51440-25.
