Arizona Public Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


The files for a Divorce in Arizona are kept at a county Clerk of Court that granted the divorce. If you wish to retrieve them, you must know which county they are stored. If you do not have any knowledge of which, you can head to the state's Vital Records Office and they will help you find the correct county. The county Clerk of Court accepts requests. If you head to their office personally, you will get the files in about two hours, but if you choose to mail or fax your request, you will have to wait two to three weeks before you get the results.

A divorce document is the only legal document that supports an occurrence of a divorce. If you are planning of getting married in the near future but have gone through a divorce in the past, you will be required to present a divorce document before you are granted a marriage license. You may also want to check your future lifetime partner if he or she has gone through the same process as well in the past. It is possible that your partner may feel distrusted if you ask for a proof of an event that they want to forget. To refrain from causing such negative feeling, you can do it secretly without them knowing it because it is legally allowed to view their documents.

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.

A complete divorce record comes with a divorce certificate and a divorce decree. In a divorce certificate, you will find the names of the spouses, their address, and the date and location where the divorce transpired. Meanwhile, a divorce decree is composed of details that are considered confidential such as child custody, visitation rights, division of assets and debts, and more. Unless the confidential issues are settled accordingly, the decree will not be issued. A decree is only given to the either of the spouses, their legal representatives, and any individual or party that has the consent of the court to get the documents.

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.

Are Divorce Records Public? Yes, they are. Any person can submit a request for the records to the appropriate government office in-charge of maintaining them. A divorce that is granted in a certain county or state is and will be accepted in all the other states. Although they are open to public, there are laws that protect the privacy of the owner of the records. The records cannot be used to defame, embarrass, blackmail, and damage the reputation of a person. Anyone caught violating will be punished accordingly.
