Alabama Cities - Family Court Records

If you live in an Alabama city, you file family court cases with the Circuit Clerk in your county. Cities do not have their own courts for family law. The county handles all cases. The big cities below have their own pages. These pages tell you which courthouse to use, how to file, and where to get local help. You can find out how to access divorce records, custody orders, child support cases, and other family law files.

Major Alabama Cities

Alabama handles family court at the county level, not the city level. If you live in a city, go to your county Circuit Clerk. That is where you file for divorce, change custody, enforce child support, and handle other family law matters. Each city page on this site tells you which courthouse serves that city. You will also find details about local court divisions and county rules.
