Direct answer
For Cobb County divorce records, request the final decree from the Superior Court Clerk. Before ordering, decide whether you need only the decree or the decree plus settlement agreement, and whether the recipient requires a certified rather than regular copy.
Four document choices prevent an ambiguous copy request
Decree only
Final judgment without the settlement package
Use this when the receiving organization only needs the court’s final divorce decree.
Decree + agreement
Final decree bundled with settlement agreement
Choose this when the terms in the incorporated agreement are part of the requested record.
Regular copy
Informational court copy
Useful for review when certification is not required.
Certified copy
Clerk-certified court document
Use when the recipient requires formal court certification.

Cobb’s Clerk of Superior Court maintains the docket and instruments filed in Superior Court cases. That makes the Clerk the direct source for the final decree and related filed agreement. A generic county-clerk request can send a user to the wrong office because “county clerk” and “Superior Court Clerk” are different functions in Georgia.
The most reliable request describes the specific court document. If a recipient needs proof of the judgment, ask whether the final certified decree is enough or whether an incorporated settlement agreement must accompany it. That question determines both the copy package and the published charge.
