Greene County, Indiana, processes its legal proceedings through two primary trial courts — the Circuit Court and the Superior Court — both headquartered at the Bloomfield courthouse. Court records generated by these proceedings encompass a wide range of documents: pleadings, motions, judgments, sentencing orders, divorce decrees, probate filings, and case dockets. Under Indiana law, the Clerk of Courts is the official custodian of these records and is responsible for processing requests and controlling access in compliance with state statutes and court rules.
Indiana court records can be researched through several avenues, including direct requests to the Clerk’s office, courthouse visits, and online portals. IndianaStateCourts.us is a useful starting point for understanding Indiana’s court system and finding publicly available case information across the state’s counties. Official court databases, clerk offices, and public access terminals at the courthouse remain the authoritative sources for verified records.

Are Court Records Public in Greene County?
Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA), codified at Indiana Code § 5-14-3, establishes that any person is entitled to inspect and copy public records of a government agency. Court records in Greene County are generally public under this framework, meaning that most case filings, judgments, and orders can be accessed upon request to the Clerk’s office.
However, Indiana Administrative Rule 9 and Indiana Code § 5-14-3-4 identify specific categories excluded from public access. These include:
- Juvenile case records — proceedings involving minors are confidential by statute
- Adoption records — sealed at the time the adoption is finalized
- Records containing Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, and other personal identifiers — redacted from public versions
- Mental health and substance abuse treatment records
- Active law enforcement investigative records — exempt while an investigation is open
- Sealed cases or records — restricted by court order
- Juvenile children’s personal information in family law cases — including children’s SSNs and financial details in divorce proceedings
- Certain criminal history records that have been expunged
When a court record contains both public and restricted content, the Clerk must provide the public portions with protected information redacted. Requesters uncertain about the accessibility of a specific record can contact the Clerk at (812) 384-8532 before submitting a formal request.
