Information About Divorce Court Records

by Claire Dowell

The Divorce Records New York have are maintained by the State Department of Health and the Clerk's office. Both agencies have maintains records of divorces that occurred since January 1, 1963. However, if you are looking for the records of a divorce that occurred prior to that date, you can obtain them at the Clerk's office only.

There are two kinds of divorce record in New York: one is a divorce decree and the other is a divorce certificate. A divorce decree is a record that contains all the terms and agreement of the divorce. They cannot be accessed by just any person because the details in it are considered confidential. Only the husband, the wife, their respective attorneys, or any other group or individual that has an authorization from the court can access divorce decrees. A divorce certificate on the other hand contains vital details such as the name of the couple, their respective birthdays, their home address, and the place and date where the divorce was granted, to name a few.

To secure a divorce document, you can visit the State Department of Health or the Clerk's office. There are various ways of making a request, namely: through mail, online, or the telephone. You will be charged differently depending on which way of requesting you opt to use. You can pay the fees through money order, a check, or you can use a credit card. It will take some time before you can get the results, usually reaching several weeks. But if you want the process to be faster, you can opt for a priority handling for an extra charge. If you wish to secure the divorce documents of another individual, you do not need to get their permission. However, you will only be granted limited access to the documents. Thankfully, the pieces of information that will be revealed to you are enough to prove if a divorce is final or not.

A divorce record is required should a divorcee wish to marry again in the future. Without it, a marriage license will not be granted, and subsequently, any marriage that a divorcee will be involved in will become null and void. The record can also be used to claim assets and properties from a past marriage.

Divorce documents can also be secured from privately-owned websites. Such websites have the consent of the court to legally supply the documents to the public. It is important that a background check is performed on a certain website to check if they have a reputation of providing genuine information. This is crucial because there are fake websites that claim they can supply the genuine information too. You can refer to customer reviews to find out if previous clients have a positive feedback on them or not.

Are Divorce Records Public? They are certainly are. That is because they are considered as part of the public domain. And records that are part of the public domain can be accessed by any member of the general public if they wish to do so. However, there are certain protocols that need to be followed in terms of how the files should and can be used and anyone who does not observe them shall suffer corresponding penalties.
