Search Warrick County Court Records
Warrick County court records are first searched through Indiana MyCase, the public case search portal tied to Indiana's Odyssey case management system. The Indiana Judicial Branch says MyCase includes public, non-confidential case data from courts that use Odyssey, with many public documents available at no cost. The search is useful for civil, criminal, traffic, small claims, probate, and other public case types, but it does not replace the Clerk for official balances, certified copies, older files, or documents that are not linked online.
The MyCase help page explains that a chronological case summary, or CCS, is the docket/event history for an Indiana case. Warrick County search results may show the case number, court, filing date, parties, status, hearings, charges, judgments, documents, and financial entries. If a balance was just paid or a fee was just added, the Clerk's Office is the official source for the current amount.
- Open MyCase and choose name, case-number, or citation-number search.
- Use Warrick County or the specific court filter when the interface offers it.
- Open the matching case and read the CCS entries in date order.
- Check document links, hearing dates, charge fields, and payment buttons where shown.
- Contact the Warrick County Clerk of the Courts for certified copies, official balances, missing documents, and older records.
| Search Field | Use | Warrick County Note |
|---|---|---|
| Last or business name | Name search | Add first name or birth date when common names return many matches. |
| Case number | Exact case lookup | Use the full Indiana case number from notices, orders, or Clerk paperwork. |
| Citation number | Traffic lookup | Best for tickets and infractions when the citation is available. |
| County and court | Filtering | Select Warrick, then Circuit Court or one of the Superior Courts when shown. |
| Case type and status | Narrowing | Useful for probate, criminal, civil, traffic, small claims, and closed cases. |
The Indiana Odyssey overview is a useful source for how local courts keep the CCS in the statewide system.
That county gateway is the starting point for local office pages, while MyCase remains the main public case lookup.
Warrick County Court System
Indiana does not use a single statewide district-court model for local trial cases. The Indiana Judicial Branch describes the state trial courts as circuit courts, superior courts, and city or town courts where those lower courts exist. Warrick County is in Judicial District 26 and has three local trial courts: Warrick Circuit Court, Warrick Superior Court No. 1, and Warrick Superior Court No. 2. County pages say each is a court of general jurisdiction, with local allocation rules for certain case types.
Juvenile delinquency matters are heard in Circuit Court. Small claims are divided between Superior Court No. 1 and Superior Court No. 2. The Drunk Driving/Drug Court is presided over by Superior Court No. 1. The judges jointly appoint a magistrate to serve the three courts, and county materials state the combined courts have more than 25 employees and four courtrooms.
Case flow: Warrick law enforcement or filing party › Clerk filing › Warrick Circuit or Superior Court › Court of Appeals of Indiana › Supreme Court of Indiana when review is granted.
| Court | Judge or Office | Records and Cases |
|---|---|---|

| Warrick Superior Court No. 1 | Hon. Krista Hamby Weiberg | General jurisdiction, misdemeanor/infraction contacts, small claims, probation, and Drunk Driving/Drug Court. |
| Warrick Superior Court No. 2 | Hon. Amy Steinkamp Miskimen | General jurisdiction with listed misdemeanor, small-claims, probation, and jury contacts. |
| City or town court | Where established by municipality | Local ordinance or municipal matters when a city or town court has jurisdiction. |

Warrick County Court Locations
The working court building is the Warrick County Judicial Center at 1 County Square in Boonville. The Sheriff's Judicial Center page places it at Main Street and 3rd Street in downtown Boonville, across from the old courthouse on the north side of the square. The public entrance is on 3rd Street on the east side. Official court directions warn that there are no public access doors on the west side, even though the parking lot is west of the building off 2nd Street.
The Clerk, Circuit Court, Superior Court No. 1, Superior Court No. 2, Prosecutor, Community Corrections, and related services are clustered at One County Square. The Sheriff and Security Center are not in that building. They are at 100 W S.R. 62, about one-quarter mile east of Boonville city limits, which matters for jail visits, inmate money deposits, and sheriff records.

The Warrick County courts landing page groups local court resources in one county section.
The county court landing page is useful when a case involves more than one Warrick trial court office.
The Warrick County department directory is another official route for court, Clerk, Sheriff, Prosecutor, Recorder, and Health Department contacts.
The directory helps separate court-record offices from jail, sheriff, vital-record, and land-record offices that sit outside the Clerk's case-file role.
Warrick County Court Record Types
Warrick County court records include civil disputes, criminal prosecutions, court charges after arrest, family and domestic cases, probate matters, traffic and infraction records, small claims, evictions, juvenile matters, and protection-order records. The public path changes by case type. A civil judgment may have a public CCS and linked order. A criminal case may show charges, pleas, disposition, bond, sentencing, and financial costs. A probate case may show estate or guardianship events while restricting protected data.
Some case types have local process details that matter. Domestic relations filings for self-represented parties need the Clerk's copy set. Evictions must be filed personally at the Clerk's Office and may not be e-filed, even though attorneys must e-file in Warrick County. Protection-order cases are not found through the ordinary MyCase search, though public protection-order information has a separate state search path.
- Criminal court records track the formal case after charges are filed.
- Court charge records focus on each filed count, level, statute, and status.
- Civil and small claims records include complaints, service, mediation entries, judgments, and payments.
- Probate records include estates, wills, trusts, guardianships, and related orders.
- Traffic records show citations, hearings, dispositions, fines, costs, and payment status.
What Warrick County Court Records Show
A Warrick County court record usually starts with the case number, court, case type, filing date, parties, and status. The CCS then lists events such as appearances, summons, service, motions, notices, hearings, orders, continuances, judgments, warrants, bonds, sentencing entries, and payments. In criminal or traffic matters, the record may add charge descriptions, statute citations, offense levels, pleas, dispositions, sentence terms, fines, and costs.
Document links are not guaranteed. Indiana courts say public documents may be available in many civil case types, all non-confidential documents in miscellaneous criminal cases, final criminal judgments, certain expungement orders where pending or denied, and appellate filings or orders. Older files, non-linked public documents, and certified copies must be handled by the Clerk.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Case number | The unique Indiana identifier used for searches, payments, and copy requests. |
| Parties | Names and roles such as plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, or estate participant. |
| CCS entries | The date-ordered docket events kept in Odyssey. |
| Charges or claims | The filed counts, civil claims, or case issues where public. |
| Disposition | The outcome, such as dismissed, judgment entered, guilty plea, or closed case. |
| Financials | Costs, fines, credits, payments, and balances, subject to Clerk confirmation. |
Warrick County Public Access Rules
Public access to Warrick County court records is controlled by Indiana court access rules and state statutes, not by a county preference alone. The general rule is that court records are public unless a rule, statute, or court order excludes them. Administrative county records, such as certain sheriff or county records, can fall under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act and Warrick County's written-request rule. Case records, such as a divorce file or criminal CCS, follow court access rules first.
Key access rules:
Indiana Code 5-14-3 gives the public the right to inspect and copy public agency records unless an exception applies.
Indiana Access to Court Records Rule 4 is the general access rule for court records.
Indiana Access to Court Records Rule 5 lists records and data excluded from public access.
Warrick County Code Section 39.08 requires written public-records requests with reasonable particularity.
Rule updates effective July 1, 2026 make it important to use the current Indiana court-record rules instead of older shorthand references.
Restricted Warrick County Court Records
Some Warrick County records are not public, not searchable, or not fully displayed online. Juvenile delinquency, CHINS, adoption, protected-person information, medical or mental-health information, protected identifiers, and certain family-law details can be restricted. Juvenile paternity records filed on or after July 1, 2014 may be public unless made confidential, but courts do not have to display them online.
Sealed and expunged records are different from ordinary public cases. MyCase says public cases can be searched only when they are not confidential, sealed, or expunged. Indiana Code Title 35 includes the expungement framework for eligible arrest or conviction records. Granted expungements may limit public release, while pending or denied expungement cases may still appear in some forms. A person seeking access to a restricted file usually needs party status, statutory authority, or a court order.
Warrick County Specialty Programs
Warrick Superior Court No. 1 identifies the Warrick County Drunk Driving/Drug Court and the Court Substance Abuse Program. County materials list the Drunk Driving & Drug Program at 166 W State Road 62 in Boonville with phone 812-897-3001. The Court Substance Abuse Program is listed with the same phone and fax but a separate address in the county research. Published county pages do not give eligibility rules, phases, program length, or graduation data.
Community Corrections is a related court-supervision channel. Warrick County lists Community Corrections at 1 County Square, Suite 137, with phone 812-897-8611. The program is described as evidence-based supervision for non-violent offenders, with an evaluation used to decide eligibility and fit. Those records may matter when reading sentencing, probation, or alternative-placement entries in a criminal court record.
Warrick County Sheriff and Jail
The Warrick County Sheriff's Office is at 100 W S.R. 62 in Boonville. County and sheriff pages list emergency 911, non-emergency 812-897-1200, administrative 812-897-6180, and jail 812-897-6096. The sheriff website identifies Sheriff Michael Wilder and links to VINE, sheriff sales, civil process, report-copy information, CodeRED, and jail resources. The jail facility is the Warrick County Security Center at the same S.R. 62 location.
No ordinary browser-based county jail roster was found on the sheriff site, but the Warrick County Sheriffs Office mobile app advertises current inmates, tips, public-safety news, and interactive features. For custody confirmation, call the jail or use the app when available. State prisoners are searched separately through IDOC, and custody notifications can be handled through Indiana VINE or SAVIN.
The Warrick Circuit Court page supplies local court context for criminal, juvenile, and probate work.
Circuit Court records often intersect with sheriff, jail, warrant, and prosecutor activity after an arrest or case filing.
Warrick County Traffic Records
Warrick County traffic tickets and infractions are handled through the Clerk and courts. The Clerk page says payments may be made in person, by phone at 1-866-480-8552, or online through PayGov. In person, cash, card, or money order is accepted, but personal checks are not. Phone and online payments require the case number and exact payment amount, so the Clerk must be contacted when the amount is unknown.
A traffic court record is not the same as a state driver record. MyCase and Clerk records show the court case, citation, charge, hearing, disposition, costs, and payment status. The Indiana BMV driver record page covers viewable driver records and official driver records, with the certified official driver record costing $4. The Prosecutor and Clerk also describe an Infraction Deferral Program that may lead to dismissal after six clean months when the Prosecutor allows it.
Warrick County Marriage and Probate Records
Marriage licenses are issued by the Clerk of the Courts. Warrick County asks applicants to enter personal information before visiting, arrive no later than 3:15 p.m., and bring proof of age such as a driver's license or birth certificate. The fee is $25 when at least one applicant is a Warrick County resident and $65 for out-of-state applicants marrying in Warrick County. The license is valid for sixty days and may be used anywhere in Indiana.
Divorce cases are domestic relations court cases filed with the Clerk. Self-represented divorce filings are routed to Indiana Legal Help forms and require one original plus two copies, or one original plus three copies if sheriff service is requested. Probate is handled by the local trial courts and Clerk, not by a separate probate court. Estate, guardianship, and trust cases use the Clerk's probate filing fee and MyCase for public CCS access where available.
- Testator
- A person who made a will.
- Personal representative
- The person appointed to administer an estate.
- Guardianship
- A court case appointing someone to act for a minor or protected adult.
Warrick County Court Fees
Warrick County publishes several court-related fees on the Clerk page. The listed amounts are filing or service fees, not a full copy-cost schedule. Certified copies, older records, and mail requests should be confirmed with the Clerk before payment. The marriage-copy fee has a conflict between official county pages, so that amount should be verified before relying on it.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Civil cases, including divorce and standard civil filings | $157 |
| Probate estate, guardianship, and trust cases | $177 |
| Small claims | $97 |
| Sheriff service | $28 per case in addition to filing fee |
| Additional defendant | $10 after the first defendant |
| Marriage license, Warrick resident applicant | $25 |
| Marriage license, out-of-state applicants marrying in Warrick County | $65 |
| Official BMV driver record | $4 through the BMV record process |
Warrick County Court History
Warrick County was formed by statute in 1813, according to the Circuit Court page. That page also notes that Indiana's 1851 Constitution gave the General Assembly power to create circuit courts. Today, the court system has Circuit Court and two Superior Courts in Judicial District 26, plus a jointly appointed magistrate and local rules for administration, mediation, judge service, and case allocation.
The current court complex sits across from the old courthouse in downtown Boonville. The Health Department is still located in the Old Courthouse at 107 West Locust Street, which helps explain why a vital-record visit and a court-record visit may send a person to different buildings. Modern record access is a mix of local counter service and statewide Odyssey/MyCase infrastructure.
The county's Superior Court No. 1 page gives unusually detailed local driving and court-closure information.
Those court-specific details are important when a case record points to a particular Warrick courtroom or division.
The county also publishes Superior Court No. 2 information for its office, courtroom, misdemeanor, small-claims, probation, and jury contacts.
Superior Court No. 2 records may share the same Clerk and MyCase routes while using different office and courtroom contacts.
Warrick County Federal Records
Federal cases involving Warrick County are separate from county trial-court records. Warrick County is served by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, with an Evansville division that lists Warrick among served counties. Federal bankruptcy matters go through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and federal case access is handled through PACER.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana handles federal criminal prosecution, while the U.S. Marshals Service has a Southern District presence. These federal systems do not replace Warrick County MyCase records for state charges, traffic cases, probate, divorce, or local civil matters.
