If you know the case number, you can go to the court and ask the court clerk for your file. You can't remove the file from the court, but can ask the court clerk to photocopy the divorce decree.
If you don't know the case number, look for your name in the court's computer under either petitioner or respondent depending on which party you are in the case. The name of the case and case number will be in the computer. After obtaining the case number, give it to the court clerk and ask for the file. Ask the court clerk to photocopy the divorce decree.
