Free Online Florida Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


If you want to obtain Florida Divorce Records, you can look for it at the Florida Vital Records Office. All divorce records in the state of Florida since 1927 are kept at this office and stored together with marriage records. Divorce records are sometimes referred to as Dissolution of Marriage. They may sound different but they are exactly the same.

It is the right of any person to submit a request for a divorce file, provided that he or she follows the correct requesting procedure. The Vital Records office requires a request form to be filled out accordingly. Pieces of information such as name of requestor, place of residence, phone details, and stating the intention for requesting a certain file are a must. The completed form is to be given back to the office along with other requirements such as two IDs - a government-issued ID must be one of them - and the corresponding payment. There is a no-refund policy for all payments made even if no file is located.

It is also necessary to provide the year when the divorce took place and the exact county where the divorce was granted. Divorce cases are originally filed at the county Clerk of Courts and before they are forwarded to the state repository. If you do not know the specific county, you can go directly to the Vital Records office and they will be the one to forward your request to the appropriate county. Moreover, if you are looking for divorce records that occurred prior to 1927, you can only find them at the county Clerk of Court where it was granted.

You may also request for the records of other people. However, you should be very specific with your reason why you want to obtain them. For instance, people who are about to get married and want to check if their partners have a history of being married in the past and is not divorced yet, this is allowed. They are allowed because it will create more trouble in the future if you get married to someone who is still officially married to someone else.

The records can also be obtained from online service providers. There are a number you can found on the Web but, sadly, not all of them can be trusted. So before jumping on the first one you can find, conduct a quick background check on it and a few more others and find out if they are a reliable source for divorce records or not. One way of doing that is by reading what other users are saying about them.

There are two kinds of search tools you can find online: those that require fees and those that offer Divorce Records Free. Paid search tools are able to supply you with more information compared to the ones that supply the files for free. They can even, depending on the situation, include some of the more personal information. Both kinds supply the basics of a divorce file such as the full names of the couple, their age, where they reside, and when and where the divorce was finalized. Knowing the basics of a divorce file is sufficient enough to prove or disprove the validity of a divorce.
