Indiana Divorce Court Records

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce files are the only files that prove that a marriage is no longer in effect. They are usually stored at a state's Vital Records office along with other public files. But in the case of Indiana Divorce Records, they can only be obtained at the county Clerk of Court where it was granted.

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.

If you plan on getting a divorce, there is a one year residency requirement and all of the states in America observe that law. Subsequently, when a divorce is made official, it is recognized nationwide regardless of which state it transpired. A divorce document is a requirement when applying for a marriage license so make sure that you have the document when you decide to marry again. And if you have some assets and properties that you wish to collect from your old marriage, you can also use the documents to make such claims.

In case you do not know the exact county where the records were recorded, you can send a request to the Indiana Department of Health and they will be the ones to forward your request to the appropriate county. Expect that the return period will be long especially if you can provide only a few details about the records. There is a request form available at the Vital Statistics Office and the specific county Clerk of Court. The form can also be downloaded from their respective websites. Once the form is filled-out appropriately, you can submit it personally or mail it to either office. There are corresponding fees for each kind of requests.

In the past few years, public records have become available online, including divorce records. There are several service providers that are authorized by the court to provide them to the public upon request. With multiple service providers to choose from, it is important that you do a history check on them first before actually availing their services. Although, most of them are genuine, it is inevitable that there are fake ones as well.

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.
