Arizona Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Documents of a Divorce in Arizona are maintained at a specific county where the divorce was made final. If you want to get your hands on a divorce document but do now know which county it is stored, you can visit the Arizona Vital Records Office so they can help you find the right county. If you place a request personally at a specific county Clerk of Court, you will get the documents in an hour or two. You may also submit your request by mail or fax but expect that results will be given to you in two to three weeks time.

It is important that you get a copy of a divorce file especially if it is your own record and you wish to go through marriage again at a later time in your life. A Clerk of Court is also the office in-charge of issuing a marriage license and they will not give it to you if they find out that you have been involved in another marriage in the past unless you provide a divorce file to prove that your previous marriage is legally over. And when you find the person that you will marry, make sure that they do not have any pending divorce case so that you would not have any troubles with the law. You can do the process of checking their marital history secretly so that you cannot cause discomfort to your future partner.

To a start a search, you are required to supply the full name of the files you want to request for. Add as much information as you can about the files to make it easier and faster to retrieve them. And always get your facts straight so that you will be provided with the right files.

Once you get what you requested for, make sure that it includes a divorce certificate and a divorce decree. A divorce certificate contains the names of the ex-couple, their address, and the date and place where the divorce took place. A divorce decree contains pieces of information that are deemed as confidential child custody, child visitation arrangements, division of assets and liabilities, and others. It is not disclosed to anyone unless you are part of the couple, their respective lawyers, or you have an authorization from the court.

If you want to get the files from another source, there are certain websites that specialized in legally providing them to the public. There are two types of such website: a free website and a paid website. Whether you choose the former or the latter, you will be given at least the basic details of a divorce file. The details are alike what a divorce certificate contains.

If you are wondering if Are Divorce Records Public, then the answer is yes. The state is obliged to maintain the documents and provide them to any person who requests for them. Regardless of where the divorce was made final, it will be accepted as a legal document in all the other states in America. Bear in mind that it is prohibited by the law to use to documents to defame, blackmail, or embarrass others. There are corresponding penalties for those that do not follow the law.
