Florida Updated Divorce Records Online

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce Records Florida are under the care of Florida's Vital Statistics Office. All divorce records that were filed since June 6, 1927, regardless of which county there were filed, are forwarded to the office because it is the central repository of public records in Florida. The office accepts requests for records starting on that date. However, if you want to request for a record that was filed prior to that date, you can only access them at the County Clerk of Court that granted the divorce.

The general public have the right to request divorce records for the reason that they are deemed as public records. A person can request his or her own record and can view everything that is included in it. On the other hand, if a person requests for another person's records, only a portion of the record will be revealed because the owner of the record has the right to keep his records private.

Divorce records are the only records that are recognized by the court to legally prove the end of a marriage. Hence, when a divorced person wants to enter another relationship and decide to marry again in the future, the final divorce record will be required to be shown in the application for a marriage license. Once a marriage has been officially ended, assets and liabilities will be divided according to what has been agreed upon by both parties in the presence of a judge. All terms and conditions of a divorce case can be found on the records.

On the official website of the Office of Vital Statistics, you will find a request form that can easily be downloaded. After downloading the form, supply all the required particulars. Then as you submit the form back to the office, show your government-issued ID. You also need to specify how you are related to the couple and why you wish to get a copy of their documents. There is a charge of $5 for the first copy of the documents given to you, and a $4 charge for succeeding copies. All of which are not subject to a refund regardless of the results of the search.

To start a search, you have to provide the full name of either the man or the woman. You also have to include the year where the divorce was granted to make the searching process easier. If you are not aware of the exact year, you can provide a range of years to search. However, you have to pay $2 for each year that is searched. You also have to include your contact information so that the office knows who to send it to once the records are found.

Another place where you can get copies of Divorce Files is through online search tools. They are search tool that specialized in preserving the divorce records and disseminating them to anyone who requests for them. There are a number of search tools you can find on the Internet but you have to be careful in picking which one to use. Do a little history check on them first and look for indications that would support the credibility of a certain search tool. Go over the feedbacks of past clients and see if they are satisfied with the service they got or not.
