It is the right of any person to submit a request for a divorce file, provided that he or she follows the correct requesting procedure. The Vital Records office requires a request form to be filled out accordingly. Pieces of information such as name of requestor, place of residence, phone details, and stating the intention for requesting a certain file are a must. The completed form is to be given back to the office along with other requirements such as two IDs - a government-issued ID must be one of them - and the corresponding payment. There is a no-refund policy for all payments made even if no file is located.
When requesting for divorce files, it is important to specify the exact year and the exact county Clerk of Court that made a divorce official. The original files of divorce cases can be found on the specific county Clerk of Court where it was filed. And since the Vital Records office only keeps records of files from 1927 onwards, those that were filed before that are only available at where they were originally filed, at a particular Clerk of Court. The files are then redirected to the state's Vital Records office where they are joined with other public documents. If you are unable to provide the year and exact Clerk of Court, head to the Vital Records office, and they will assist you in locating them for you. They may even redirect your requests to the appropriate county for you.
Acquiring the divorce files of other people is permitted under certain circumstances. For example, a person wants to check if his or her future lifetime partner is not involved in another marriage and if they are and/or were, is it legally over? It spells a lot of trouble if you get married to a person who is, under the laws of the land, currently married to another person.
The records can also be obtained from online service providers. There are a number you can found on the Web but, sadly, not all of them can be trusted. So before jumping on the first one you can find, conduct a quick background check on it and a few more others and find out if they are a reliable source for divorce records or not. One way of doing that is by reading what other users are saying about them.
There are two kinds of search tools you can find online: those that require fees and those that offer Divorce Records Free. Paid search tools are able to supply you with more information compared to the ones that supply the files for free. They can even, depending on the situation, include some of the more personal information. Both kinds supply the basics of a divorce file such as the full names of the couple, their age, where they reside, and when and where the divorce was finalized. Knowing the basics of a divorce file is sufficient enough to prove or disprove the validity of a divorce.
