Trying to Find Divorce Records?

Why would someone need to find divorce records? Well there could be several reasons. Other than mere curiosity, here are a few more reasons why divorce records are needed.


Background Checks

Occasionally, there is a need for a background check on someone applying for something. It could be someone trying to get a job and the company where the person wishes to be employed requires a full accounting of his/her past – including legal records like birth, marriage and divorce.

Sometimes, some proof is required when entering into a contract. For instance, if a contract requires that one of the contracting parties show irrefutable proof of conducting any form of business in a certain place, filing for a divorce in a certain area would certainly qualify as proof enough.

Also, those who belong to prominent families would like to know whether or not their son or daughter’s potential fiancée has no legally binding marriage anywhere. As such, they could request for a copy of such records just to quell their fears.

Applying for a Marriage License

As it is illegal to get married if one is still currently married to someone else, proof of dissolution of marriage (divorce) or annulment is certainly needed especially if there is already a previous record of marriage in a particular place. Bigamy, or the act of being married concurrently with two or more spouses is a serious legal offense punishable by law.

Tracing Genealogy

Divorce records are helpful when tracing one’s roots. Sometimes, women revert back to their maiden names after a divorce and therefore, it is possible that an entire family line could be omitted during such a trace if such records were not found.

Whatever the reason, it would be useful to know what to do or where to go in order to secure a copy of these records. In point of fact, these records, along with other vital records (birth, death and marriage certificates) could be obtained from local county court houses, city halls, and departments of health.

But if for some reason, physically acquiring them yourself is a problem (say, distance or schedule related problems), another way to acquire them is through the Internet.

Several state health department websites, including the CDC (Center for Disease Control), offer online transactions to secure these records. There are also record search websites or online detectives that can help you find the divorce records you are looking for – all for a modest fee.
