Divorce records are the documents containing all the important information associated with divorce proceedings that occur in a particular state or county. These records are maintained by a state's Department of Vital Records or Department of Health Statistics. If you intend marrying a person who has divorced, it'll be wise to verify divorce records of that person in order to confirm marital status.

You can check divorce records through either the physical files or the Internet.

Following are some ways in which you can check records of divorce of a person:

1. You can visit the Clerk office of the county where the divorce proceedings were held. You'll need to furnish certain information such as:

· Full name and address of the person you want to check
· Your relationship with the divorced individuals
· The reason for your request
· Date/Year in which the divorce was filed

Obtaining these records can be very hectic or expensive if you're not an immediate relative or wish to obtain an original copy of the record.

2. You can also consider hiring a legal agent or detective to verify the records and furnish you the detailed information about that person. However, this may be an expensive proposition.

3. If you are not aware of the place or the court house where the divorce was granted, you can contact your State's Department of Health Statistics or Department of Vital Records. A clerk will tell you whether the record of divorce of that person exists.

4. If you want to check these records from your home without visiting the Clerk Office, you can access a vital records database through the Internet. You may need to pay a certain amount of fees to check divorce records. However, this fee is usually less than the fee charged by the State or county for furnishing such records.

By following these methods, you can check the marital status of a person in a hassle-free way and less time.
