Divorce Records Search - The Top 5 Things Children of Divorced Parents
Should Know
A divorce records search can help you find your parents' divorce documents,
which in turn may shed some light on matters that are not clear to you now.
A divorce records search may be restricted to the parties involved in the
divorce (e.g., spouse, children, guardians of the children, etc.). Moreover,
note that some states totally bar access from other parties for a hundred years.
But if you are the child of divorced parents, having a copy of the divorce
records is your right.
How Can a Divorce Records Search Be Useful?
A divorce records search can give you valuable information that can help you
exercise your rights to property and money, such as the following.
1. Entitlements. Divorce records can inform you of entitlements you may,
otherwise, not know about. For instance, if the final settlement awarded certain
property to the parent who was awarded custody of you, to you directly, or to
your guardian and, by some circumstance, the transfer of property was not
completed, then the divorce records can help you remedy the situation (in or out
of court).
2. Debt Payments. If there is some question as to the division of marital debts,
a copy of the divorce records can help you clear things up. If the parent who
was awarded custody of you died before a loan or mortgage was completely paid
off, and the outstanding amount was completely deducted from that parent’s
estate, you will want to confirm that the outstanding debt was the sole
responsibility of the deceased parent.
3. Pensions. Divorce records may inform you of your right to a parent’s pension,
annuity, or insurance payments, especially when that parent is deceased.
4. Business Interests. If your family owns a business, divorce records can
clarify your rights and responsibilities as well as your level of involvement
and ownership.
5. Furniture or jewelry of unusual value. Divorce records may show how heirlooms
and other valuable property should be passed on, especially where a new family
of the deceased parent exists.
Finally, if you have a copy of the divorce records and feel that anything is
unfair (e.g., you are orphaned as a minor and your surviving parent earns much
more than he or she did during the divorce settlement), you can always try to
appeal the court’s decision.
