Florida Free Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce Records Florida are under the care of Florida's Vital Statistics Office. All divorce records that were filed since June 6, 1927, regardless of which county there were filed, are forwarded to the office because it is the central repository of public records in Florida. The office accepts requests for records starting on that date. However, if you want to request for a record that was filed prior to that date, you can only access them at the County Clerk of Court that granted the divorce.

Any individual can place a request for the documents because they are deemed as part of the public domain. Requesting your own documents is allowed and you get to see everything that is included in it. You can also request for another individual's records but you will be given a limited amount of access to it so as to maintain that individuals right to privacy.

Only divorce records are accepted by the court as proof of the dissolution of marriage. When a divorced person wishes to remarry in the near future, he or she must have a copy of the divorce record and present it before the court when applying for marriage license. If you want to view all that has been agreed upon in a divorce case, such as how assets and liabilities are divided, you can look at the divorce record.

If you want to place a request for divorce records, you can visit the official site of the Office of Vital Statistics and look for the official request form. Supply the appropriate information on the required fields. A valid ID that is issued by the government must be presented as proof of your identity. Then you have to specify how you are related to the owner of the records and why you wish to obtain the records. A fee of $5 is charged for every copy of the records and $4 for extra copies. All payments made are non-refundable even the records are not located.

To start a search, you have to provide the full name of either the man or the woman. You also have to include the year where the divorce was granted to make the searching process easier. If you are not aware of the exact year, you can provide a range of years to search. However, you have to pay $2 for each year that is searched. You also have to include your contact information so that the office knows who to send it to once the records are found.

Divorce Files can also be found on the Internet. There are websites that are owned by private groups that have the capability of retrieving the documents. Such websites are easy to find but you have to check their credibility first to make sure that you are getting legit information. One way of checking their credibility is by reading user reviews. Read them carefully and figure out if past and current clients find a particular website credible.
