Ohio Free Divorce Records Online

by Claire Dowell

If you want to get your hands on a document about a certain Divorce in Ohio, you may do so by submitting a formal request to the Ohio Health Department. The department maintains documents of divorces that have been filed since 1954 until today. However, they are not authorized to provide a divorce decree. Handing out of divorce decrees is the task of the Clerk of Courts of each of the counties in Ohio. If you do not know which county to search for the documents, you may refer to the Health Department and you will be assisted in finding the correct county.

The Health Department has an official website where they keep soft copies of public documents, including divorce documents, which they regularly update. There you can find a request form that you can download. You have to complete all the required fields on the form before you submit it back to the department. Failure to appropriately complete the form will result to your request to be rejected. There are certain requirements that you need to comply to get divorce documents. They will depend on which county you will be requesting them. There are also certain fees that you will be charged with. All fees are to be paid only by money order or by check. In case no document is found, no refund will be issued.

Divorce files serve a couple of purposes. Primarily, it is the official file that supports the legality of a divorce. If you want to marry someone but you have been involved in a divorce, you will need to show your official divorce file. And if you want to claim a property from a previous marriage, also have to show your divorce file. The files are also needed in the division of assets and liabilities, settlement of child custody, and other divorce-related matters.

You cannot start a search if you do not know at least the name of the owner of the files that you want to access. Of course, providing more information will make the entire process speedier especially because it takes quite a while to retrieve them from government offices.

You can also look for the files on the Internet. There are various websites that disseminate divorce files and other public files to clients, upon request. But since the Internet host a ton of sources, it inevitable that some are bogus ones. However, you can do a quick background check on them if you find out more about their credibility.

Some people ask the question Are Divorce Records Public because they are not aware that the files are readily available for the public's perusal. The public is empowered by the government to access public files but must observed certain guidelines. For example, the government does not tolerate the misuse of the files and will punish individuals or parties that will not follow the guidelines. And if the files that you want to access is not under you name, you will not be able to view or access the entire file because some of the information included on it are considered classified. Classified pieces of information are kept in private to preserve the privacy of its owners. However, you will get a verification that will reveal vital pieces of information that are enough to prove the validity of a divorce.
