Indiana Free Divorce Records And Legal Documents Available Online

by Ben Kingsley

When married couple thinks that their relationship is no longer healthy, they decide to separate or file for divorce. This is the reason why the number of divorce in Indiana is increasing every year. This makes the access to the document harder than before. To address this problem, the Freedom of Information Act has allowed the residents of the state to request for a copy of a divorce record easily.

There are several reasons why the residents of Indiana request for a copy of a divorce record. One is for genealogy research. The document has information that is necessary in updating one's family tree. IT may cause problems for the future generation if the divorce is not stated on the family records. Another use of this document is for government transactions. There are a number of transactions in government offices that would call for a copy of a divorce certificate. This includes the insurance matters and other financial related transactions. There are also some who would use this document as reference when they check on the marital status of an individual. This is mostly done by individuals who are planning to get married.

A public divorce certificate in the state of Indiana contains limited information about the separation. One can find only the basic details about the divorce such as the place and the date where the separation was filed. Further details about the separation are kept private since the state respects the privacy of its people. Details about the agreement about the children's custody are not indicated on the public document. The division of the couple's properties is also kept confidential.

In Indiana, the office of the Vital Records Section of the Department of Health does not release certified copies of such documents. In order to get a copy of a divorce record, one may need to visit the county where the divorce was granted. If one does not know where to go, the state office can help verify this information for a certain fee. A separate processing fee has to be paid when doing the actual search of the document at the county. Residents of Indiana can only request for their personal divorce records. If one needs to access the files of other people, a special permit is needed to proceed.

Requests can also be done by sending a mail request to the county office. Again, if the county where the divorce was filed is unknown, the request has to be first sent to the Vital Records Section for verification. The results of a mail request can take a days or even weeks depending on the retrieval process. To avoid waiting for several days, the search can be done through the Internet.

The Internet has made the retrieval of marriage and divorce records hassle free and fast. It has eliminated the need to go to the office just to file the request. One can even do the search at the comforts of their own home and the results can be delivered in just a few seconds instead of days. This is why residents of Indiana would prefer to conduct the search through the Internet.
