Free Divorce Records Online Searching

By Claire Dowell


In the world today, marriage is a legal process in every civilized country. Naturally, to end it requires another legal process. The state department maintains the records of divorce. Divorce in Illinois records are found in the circuit court clerk in the county where the divorce took place. The government supplies the information through county divorce records but there are also public agencies that provide some degree of information and assistance. County records basically filed all the original documents that were granted in that certain county. Those granted in different counties need to be individually searched.

The Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records keeps the records. For a small fee of $5, the information of a divorce can be confirmed if it is listed on the index that is filed by the husband's name. It should also fall within the time of 1962 and the present index date. Divorces outside of this date have their records obtainable from the county clerk where the divorce was granted.

The details of the past divorce are detailed in the records. What these type of records hold are the divorce reasons why it was filed and granted, the names of the husband, wife and children if any, child custody, alimony and support. Online options make the procedure of retrieving these records much easier than it used to be before.

There are normally two different versions of these divorce records on the internet, those that are fee-based and those that are free of charge (FOC). Public offices usually gather and maintain FOC records and while they may be of some use, these often lack in quality and are quite scattered. The other type of records, the fee based ones, is organized and has an equal level of quality as these are gathered by professional providers. These records are completely fitting as official credentials, something that FOC records may not qualify as in legal procedures. The records from government departments are technically free as they are not profit centers.

For some reason, these records are not readily obtainable from government agencies in the state of Illinois. The county where the divorce took place is virtually the only source you can go to. Perhaps it is also an unintentional deterrent check and reminder for the people who have undergone a failed marriage previously. Fortunately there are ample commercial record providers which provide records online as well as for other states.

Because of the multitude of fee based services on the internet, the fees have been kept at a reasonable rate but still with the consistency of the quality. Where to find divorce records is not a hard thing to find with doing a simple lookup. You may even find referral sites that will have the information you need about online records providers and which one you can approach. If you need to get hold of divorce records you can use for legal matters, an online commercial record provider may be the best thing to do if your time would not allow you to personally go to your specific county.
