Arizona Public Divorce Records

Arizona Public 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.

Divorce cases are recorded because they serve as proof that a marriage is officially over in the eyes of the court. If you are divorced and wish to marry again, you will be required to show your divorce record. If you fail to present one, you will not be granted a marriage license. And without a marriage license, a marriage will not be considered legal. It is also important to check if the person you are about to marry does not have a pending divorce case. It may cause some hard feelings if you do a background check on your special someone. You can avoid doing so by doing it discreetly since you do not need their permission to check their divorce records, if there are any.

If you want to place a request, you should at least have knowledge of the name of the owner of the document you want to get. It is also good if you can provide more details aside from the name so that the process will not be lengthy. Check the accuracy of the details you are providing so that the correct document will be given to you.

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.

You can also get the records from online search tools. There are free search tools and paid search tools. Regardless of what kind of search tool you are going to use, you will be provided with the basic details of a divorce document that resembles what a divorce certificate contains.

If you are not sure if Are Divorce Records Public? Yes, they are. The members of the general public have the right to access them from government repositories, upon request. In America, a divorce that is granted in a particular state is also recognized in another state as a legal divorce file. The files are never to be used to cause discomfort to another individual in such a way that they are embarrassed, blackmailed, or defamed. Violating which is punishable by law.
