By Ben Kingsley


Retrieving Divorce Records Ohio can be done by visiting the specific county Clerk of Court that is in-charge of safeguarding them. The state has an Office of Vital Statistics but they do not provide copies of divorce documents to the public. They can, however, help you out if you do not have any idea which county has the document you wish to retrieve.

Divorce files are considered as part of the public domain, which means that citizens have a right to access them. Requesting your own file can be done in Ohio. This gives you the chance to examine if there are mistakes on any of the details. If you wish to obtain the files of another person, you may do so as well but will only be given the basic details. It is important to take note that the files are protected by certain laws and if they are used for purposes that are prohibited, such as to blackmail a person, violators will be dealt with accordingly.

Anyone who plans to propose marriage to someone should check out the marital histories of their potential lifetime partners. This course of action is allowed by the authorities to be done secretly to avoid hurting the feelings of people. This means that the approval of the documents' owner is not required. Divorce persons who want to re-marry are obliged to secure their own divorce documents and present it before a judge upon applying for a marriage license.

A requestor has to wait around two to three weeks or sometimes even more depending on the amount of information is supplied. If the requestor can only supply the name of either the man or the wife, it is okay because that is enough to start off a search. However, if the requestor wishes to retrieve the documents quicker, supplying as many pieces of information as he or she can is the way. Requestors will be charged accordingly for each request. A no-refund policy applies even if the search returns zero results.

Another way to get divorce records is through privately-owned websites that cater to maintaining and supplying them to the public. There are a number of such websites on the Internet. However, not all of them can be trusted. Conducting a background check on a certain website is helpful. Look for user reviews as they are good indicators if customers are satisfied with the kind of information they were provided with or not.

Online search tools that allow a Divorce Records Search are categorized into two: those that render fees and those that do not. The former will provide you with a lot of valuable information while the latter will provide you the basic ones such as the name of the husband and the wife, when the marriage and divorce took place, and where they were finalized. If you are unable to specify which state to start your search, look for search tools that have the capacity to conduct a search nationwide.
