Public Records: Can You Anonymously Find Out if Someone is Divorced in New Jersey

In NJ, is there a way to search public records to see if someone is divorced, without them being alerted to the search? For instance, if a divorce was completed in a particular county, say 2 years ago, does that get publicly posted anywhere?

I want to find out if two separate individuals are divorced. However, I only want to do this search if A) it’s free, B) it’s legal and C) it’s anonymous. If it doesn’t fit any of these parameters I won’t do it. I should add that I am currently a resident of PA, so if that causes any issues please let me know.

Also I would like to find out the criminal history of two separate people in NJ. So how would I go about searching for that information? Is it public? I want the same parameters to apply as above, I.e free, legal and anonymous.

Thanks in advance for any help. There are so many so-called background check sites but I don’t trust them. If the information isn’t public knowledge somehow, I’ll just go without. Thanks.
