    Go to the Clerk which handles divorces for the Court in your area - in my State it's the NY Supreme Court.

    The County will determine the exact location.

    Do you have a POA over her? If so why?

    And why do you ask? What does the answer possibly have to do with the OP's question?

    You do understand that OP wouldn't need a power of attorney to examine public records in the courthouse?

    Possibly because the OP says he/she would like to "get" the mother divorced from the husband. I see no indication that this is what the mother is thinking.

    You did read the whole question and not just parse it out? The OP Stated:

    I would like to know how to obtain a copy so I can have medical rights for her. Also would like to get her divorced from him. please advise. Thanks

    It sounds like they either are or want to have a POA to accomplish these tasks. They aren't stating that the mother wants to do this. Notice the use of "I".

    A POA would not allow OP to "get" OP's mother divorced, if that is what you were thinking. OP never brought the subject of a POA up, you did..

    I'm thinking that by "get" he/she meant "assist" Mom to get.

    If you know it was done, does not your mom have her paper work ?

    Also who was the attorney doing the separation paper work ?

    From either a copy mother has, information from the attorney, or to to the court and ask for copies of the records, adn/or a record search
