With its increase in number, the documents and the files that the government manages also increase, thereby adding tasks to their daily routine. Thus, looking up information of divorce cases tends to become time consuming and difficult.

It is very sad to know that if the marriage of a couple is no longer healthy, they resolve to separation. Such emotional event has to be documented for it to be used it in legal transactions. These legal transactions includes, but not limited to the following: transactions that deals with the government such as insurance processes, background check, remarriage and genealogy. Without such document, a divorcee may not be able to update their insurance information. Conducting a background check on the marital status of an individual would need access to the divorce records as validation of the information. A divorcee would not be able to get married again if he/she cannot provide their divorce certificate. Although, it is rarely used in genealogy research, it still plays a vital role in the family history because it can create confusion to the future generations.

Divorce is a sensitive issue, not just in Florida, but in all parts of the country. This is the reason why the information that can be found on the record is controlled and limited. One can only find the basic information about the separation on a public document. This includes the complete names of the couple, the date and the place where the divorce has been filed and granted. The reason for the separation is kept private to respect their privacy. The custody of the children and the division of properties and assets are also kept confidential.

This fee is only applicable if one can provide the exact year when the divorce was legalized. In cases where the year of separation is unknown, one should add $2 per year that is being searched.
