Virginia Marriage And Divorce Records
by Christopher Evans
The implementation of the Freedom of Information Act has ordered the government to let the local residents of a state access their personal documents. This is being followed by most of the states in the country including Virginia. Virginia divorce records are one of the documents that can be accessed by the residents in the state.
The information that can be found in a public divorce record is controlled. This means that there is some information that has been kept confidential to respect the involved individuals. One can only find the names of the couple who got separation. Included on a public document is the date and place where the couple got separated. One would not be able to find information such as the custody of the child, the arrangement of the assets and properties as well as the reason why the couple decided for divorce.
There are several reasons for accessing divorce records in Virginia. One of the common one is to process marriage again. One would not be able to proceed with marrying again if a divorce certificate is not presented in the application process. It is also one of the documents used as reference when updating the family history records.
A $12 fee is required in order to process the retrieval of divorce certificate. The state of Virginia only releases documents that were registered since 1918.
