Indiana Public Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


A divorce record is the only legal document that supports the validity of an ended marriage. In other states, divorce records can be found at their Vital Statistics Office together with other public records. However, in the case of Indiana Divorce Records, they are found at the specific county Clerk of Courts where the divorce was finalized.

Divorce documents are part of the public document and any person has the right to obtain copies of them. However, the extent of how much information you will be provided with will depend on who you are. If you are one of the spouses, their attorney, or someone that has the consent of the court, then you can access the complete document and view including the confidential pieces of information. If you are an outside party, then you will be given a simple document that shows that a divorce has occurred and that it has been made final by the court.

A divorce record that is finalized in one state is also recognized in other states. A person can only file for a divorce in a certain state after he or she has resided there for at least a year. If you have been married in the past and have found a new love who you wish to marry, it is important that you present the validated divorce record so you can apply for a marriage license. You can also use the records to claim assets and properties from your previous marriage.

In obtaining the documents, fill-out a request form which you can get from the Indiana Department of Health or a particular county Clerk of Court. If you are unaware of which county Clerk of Court they are available, just send it directly to the Department of Health and they will forward it to the appropriate Clerk of Court. They also maintain their own website and there you can also see the request form that is a printable version. Write down all the required information and hand it personally to the appropriate office or you may mail it. Bear in mind that you will be charged for each request.

Divorce files can also be obtained through online search tools. You do not have to worry about legality issues because they are recognized by the court. There are a number of search tools available and most of them are real. However, bogus search tools are also present. To avoid getting victimized by bogus search tools, conduct a background check on them before choosing which one to avail the services of.

Since Divorce Records Are Public records, you can easily find them. There are service providers that provide the records for free while some render certain fees. Both types are capable of providing the basic pieces of information of the records such as the full names of the husband and the wife, their respective birthdays, date and venue of divorce, etc. You can start a search by simply providing a full name and you get results in a matter of seconds.
