Hello, greetings of the day.
As per your query, yes, divorce details are public records. Generally, all the court proceedings are made public, this includes the divorce papers as well. So unless the court orders to file divorce records under seal, the filings in divorce proceedings become matters of public record. Courts try to seal those divorce documents which deal with children, domestic violence, private identification information etc. They also tend to seal documents with false allegations to prevent spreading of misinformation. Various documents like divorce certificates and divorce decrees are available for the public. To answer your second question, there are various ways to access divorce records of courts. You can get them through the government, some private companies also help you searching the available databases for you, for a cost, you can also get them by an in-depth Google search. 
Hope this soles your query.
