1950 Divorce Records from Queens, NYC

[JonJCurtoJr]

Has anyone been able to obtain divorce records from NYC for a divorce that occurred prior to 1950?

My grandfather and his first wife were married in New Jersey in 1933 and had final divorce proceedings in Queens, NY in 1950.

I have the exact date of the annulment as well as their original marriage license, but I am not seeing anywhere I can submit for this divorce decree.

Divorce proceedings are sealed for 100 years in NYC.

You will have to get a lawyer involved to get these via a court order or petition, since the parties are assumed deceased you obviously won’t have to also provide “certificate of no appeal” document either.
