You will need to go to the court where your divorce was filed. If you know the case number, provide it to the court clerk and ask to see the file. You can't remove the file from the court, but can ask the court clerk to photocopy the file or the portions of the file you want.
If you don't know the case number, look in the court's computer for your name or your ex's name under petitioner and respondent to obtain the case number and as discussed above give it to the court clerk and ask for the file..
