→How did CNN obtain sealed documents?
::::::(a) the Georgia law can tell you the records exist, that is far different from being held for public viewing; (b) how do we know whether or not one party or the other requested they be sealed, being that (1) those posted on CNN's site are incomplete, and (2) the reluctance of ''both'' parties to discuss the case openly for 30 years?

::::::(c) and the site you posted clearly states the office "[http://health.state.ga.us/programs/vitalrecords/divorce.asp cannot issue a record]", and only copies of the decree are available, not the actually filings and record. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 15:03, 23 January 2012 (EST)

:::::::I'm loving watching you twist in the wind to make this into a huge conspiracy. '''Divorce records are public records, and anyone can view them (and read them and make copies of them) at the courthouse.''' I do genealogy for a hobby, and review title searches as part of my job, and I see and obtain divorce records fairly regularly. It takes a court order to seal the records, and '''''the order sealing the records will be in the public records for anyone to see and read'''''.
:::::::And do you ''really'' think the courthouse is going to give you the original record? Of course it's a copy, and it can be certified if you pay for it. "Certified copies of divorce decrees are only available from the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted." (see previous link for quote.) A certified copy means it's an '''''exact copy''''', guaranteed by the issuing agency. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 15:14, 23 January 2012 (EST)
