Butler County Marriage & Divorce Records

Under Alabama state law, records that are referred to as Vital Records, which include records of marriage, divorce, life and death, are split in two divergent categories. Unlike birth and death records, which are heavily restricted in terms of whom can access them, marriage and divorce records are freely available to the public at any time.

This means that the marital status, as well as the full divorce proceedings, of any couple married or divorced in Alabama, including in Butler County, can be accessed and read.

All Vital Records are controlled and distributed by the Alabama Department of Public Health. The official website for the Butler County Department of Public Health is http://adph.org/butler/.
