Ohio Divorce Court Records

by Ben Kingsley

If you are looking for Ohio Divorce Records, you can head to the state's central repository which is at the Office of Vital Statistics, Ohio Health Department. All divorce files since 1954 up to the present date can be found at the department. All the files are sent to them but they do not accept any application of divorce because that is the task of the county clerk of courts.

The State Health Department does not have the authority to give certified copies of divorce files. What they are allowed to give are just simple versions of the files that contain only the basic pieces information such as the full names of the bride and groom, their respective birth date, date and location where the divorce was finalized, and the likes. They may only be basic pieces of information but they are enough to support that a divorce is official. Other pieces of information that are included in a divorce file are kept in private and not given to the general public. Only the bride, groom, their legal representatives and others that are authorized by the court can view the full divorce file.

There are corresponding charges for each time you request for the documents. The charges depend on the county where the documents are kept, the style of requesting used, and how much details you can give concerning the documents. Basically, if you can provide more details, the shorter the return time will be and the lesser the cost. If you can only supply a few details, then expect the process to be longer and you will be charged with more. All charges can only be paid through check or money order.

The Office of Vital Statistics of the Ohio Health Department has an official website. An application form can be downloaded from that website. The form has a divorce record section that needs to be filled-out accordingly with particulars such as names of the husband and the wife, and the date and place of the divorce if known. All procedures specified by the Health Department or the Clerk of Court that is taking care of the records should be followed step-by-step or else the application will be rejected.

Divorce records can also be retrieved through private websites. You do not need to worry about any legality issues because these websites have the authorization from the court to provide such records to the public. Some sites provide the records for free while others render a certain amount of fee. Before choosing which website to use, make sure that you run a background check on them so that you will know if they have a good track record or not.

There are also some websites that allow you to search Records of Divorce from around the United States. They come in handy if you do not know which exact to search from. They run a database that is linked to the database of different states. If you follow all the steps correctly, you will be able to get the records that you want in a matter of seconds.
