Indiana Public Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


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 files are considered as public files. Therefore, any member of the public can ask for a copy of the files as long as proper procedures are observed. The basic details of the files are disclosed but some details are considered confidential and can be viewed only by people who are specified by the court such as the couple, their lawyers, and certain parties. Those who are not specified by the court will only be provided by a simple file that contains proof that a divorce is finalized.

You can only apply for a divorce in a certain state if you have lived there for at least a year. Once the application is accepted and the whole process is done, the finalized file becomes an accepted legal divorce file no matter which state you are at. If you have gone through a divorce in the past and you have moved on and want to enter into another marriage, you have to show your divorce file. A license is required in marriage and a divorced person will not be given one without the finalized divorce file. And if you want to collect some assets or properties that you have from your past marriage, you can use the divorce files to make a claim.

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.

Divorce documents are obtainable from private websites as well. Such websites are allowed by the court to legally disseminate public records. There are various websites to choose from and most of them are authentic. But it is unfortunate that fake sites exist too. Investigate the sites first before you choose one to help you with your search.

Divorce Records Are Public files and they can be obtained conveniently through an online search tool. You may find a search tool that supplies the records for you free of charge, but there are others that will ask for a certain fee for their service. Regardless of what you find and pick to use, you will supplied with the following pieces of information: full names of the couple, birth date, date and place where the divorce was granted, and others. With just the knowledge of the full name of a person, you initiate a search and get results instantly.
