ND Court Records - 'The Four'

Adoption records are documentations that arise from legal adoption proceedings that take place in a county courthouse. The information that you can find in adoption records include the name of the child or children, the names of the natural parents and the adopting parents. However, adoption records are normally withheld from the public, unless there is just cause as to why these should be released.

The second type of court files that you can find are divorce records. You will be able to find therein the names of the spouses who got divorced, their children, the details of their marriage and the grounds for the divorce. You can usually write to the county courthouse or make an appearance there yourself to be able to get the divorce records. You just need to have the names of the spouses and the year that they got divorced. Some courthouses will require you to state your relationship with one of the spouses or children before they allow you access to these records.

Naturalization records spring from applications for citizenship in the United States. The person applying has to submit a petition with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Similarly, you will have to submit a formal written request to be able to gain access to these public records.

Probate records comprise the fourth type of case files that you can find. Probate records arise after the death of an individual. It contains all the information regarding the will of the deceased and the details on the division of his wealth and estate. Aside from the assets of the deceased, the probate records also indicate the survivors of the person who passed away.
