Prior to 1785 divorces were heard by the Governor and Council. In 1785 the Massachusetts Acts and Resolves gave jurisdiction over divorce to the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC). The SJC retained sole jurisdiction until 1887 when the Superior Court Department took over jurisdiction. In 1922 the Probate and Family Court Department began to hear divorces. Both courts have concurrent jurisdiction.
