Marriage And Divorce Records Indiana

by Claire Dowell

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.

Residents of Indiana use the divorce certificate for a number of reasons. Genealogy is one of the top reasons used by residents when they request for divorce certificate. The information that can be found on the file is used to update the family registry. It becomes a problem for the next generation if such incident is not indicated on the family tree. Some transactions in the government would require a divorce certificate. Such transactions when the divorcee would process any financial matters such as insurance. The marital status of an individual can also be verified using this document.

One can find a lot of useful information in divorce certificate. As the name suggest, the document would contain details about where and when the couple was granted legal separation. The public document would only contain the basic information about the separation. Other vital information is kept confidential. One would not find details about the children's custody and the settlement of about the couple's properties and assets on a public file. This information is kept private to respect the privacy of the people involved.

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.

There are also other methods in getting a copy of a divorce certificate in Indiana. One can send a mail request addressed to the county office where the divorce was filed. If this information is not known, sending a mail request to the Vital Records Section can help verify where to obtain the document. Unfortunately, sending a mail request can take several days before the results can be obtained. This is why the Internet is now used by many to gain access to such documents.

Marriage and divorce records can now be requested through the Internet. This method is, by far, the fastest method there is. There is no need to go to any office since the request can be done anywhere there is Internet connection and the results are displayed after doing only a few clicks on the mouse.
