You will not be able to look up information about certain cases that are confidential, including cases involving adoptions, mental health issues and custody petitions for parents who have not married.

Online Case Access

The date in which cases became available online varies. If you do not find the case you are looking for, it may only be available in hardcopy at the court where the case was filed. You may also not find the case because the period of time in which the court must keep the case has expired. To find out how long cases are kept, read File Retention Time Frames (L-1018).
