What information is included on a public divorce record?
Information on a public record divorce will vary, but it is unlikely to include any information that you feel is confidential. The information that is released will include the names of both married parties and the dates of marriage and divorce. The exact details of any property settlements or the terms of any alimony will not be included in this information.
Divorce records are public records in the US, meaning anyone can request to see a copy of one. When it comes to viewing divorce records, there are several things you have to be aware of.
First of all, you may not find the information you're looking for on a divorce record. The reason is simple: some information is protected by law. If a couple has a premarital agreement, that information will not appear on the divorce record.
A second thing to know about divorce records is that they don't include much information about children born from the marriage. Information about children usually only appears on adoption documents or if paternity is legally established.
Finally, you should know that divorce records may or may not include property settlements and agreements between both parties. It's also possible that you'll find information on debts and financial settlements between the two parties in question.
