Free Divorce Record Search
From LoveToKnow Divorce
If you are doing a free divorce record search on the Internet, you may feel frustrated at the many websites that lead you to believe that you don't have to pay for the information but then find out it does come with a fee. Finding free divorce records online is difficult and there are a few reasons why.
Free Divorce Record Search on the Internet
While searching for free divorce records on the Internet may result in many websites in the search results, not all of them will give you divorce information without a fee. After you complete the form for the records search, the site will tease you by giving you only part of the record. The site will then inform you that if you would like to see the rest of it you must pay for it.
The Reason for the Fee
For many states, to request a copy of a divorce record, you will need to pay a processing fee. This money goes to pulling the record and making a copy of it for you to take home with you. Websites that have free divorce record search engines know this and want to collect the same type of fee. You may be thinking that it's not the same since the website is much like a library and no one is physically pulling the information and copying it for you and actually, you are doing all the work. While this may be true, websites like this are making a business out of providing public records as a convenience to their visitors.
What You Can Find Out for Free
While you may not find out all the information you want from a partial view of the divorce record, you may still benefit from the free portion. If you are just wondering if someone is divorced, you can simply enter the person's name and other requested information in the search form to see if the person's divorce record comes up.
Many of the divorce record results will also show you when the divorce took place, which can help you confirm dates the person you are searching for has told you.

Beware of Websites with False Information

If the site is a scam, you might find others discussing this on blogs or other websites. You may want to check the online Better Business Bureau as well.
