New York Marriage And Divorce Records

by Christopher Evans

New York Divorce records are categorized into two: divorce decree and divorce certificate. A divorce decree is the original divorce document that was filed at the county where the separation was granted while a certificate is the archived record that can be requested from the office of the Department of Health.

Both records would contain the names of the couple as well as the address of residence. The certificate would contain the details of the separation such as the date and the place where it was granted. The decree, on the other hand would contain some private matters such as the custody of the child and the division of assets and liabilities.

A divorce record is probably the least important document used in genealogy research. However, if the separation of the couple has not been updated on the family history, it may cause problems in the future. Ironically, a divorce certificate is required when a divorced individual plans to marry again. There are some who would secretly conduct a background check on their partners to ensure that they are single as they claim in order to avoid problems when processing marriage.

The state of New York has only started to issue divorce certificates since January 1, 1963. The cost for the retrieval of a New York Divorce record is only $30. This is the cost if the file was obtained from the office of the Department of Health under the Vital Records Section. Additional charges have to be paid if the request was made elsewhere. Although the record is one of the public documents of the state, only the husband or the wife is given access to the file. Others can view the file provided that they can secure a court order form the courthouse of the state. The basic information about the document that is being requested is also necessary to make the search a lot easier and faster.

The public document of New York, which includes the divorce records of the state, is managed by the Department of Health under the Vital Records Section. Mail request can also be done; however, the result of the mail order can be delivered after 8 weeks from the time it was sent.
