State Of TN Divorce Records Database

By Claire Dowell


Getting into a divorce is not something that married couples want or expect. It is quite obvious that each of us want a relationship that will last; but unfortunately, that is not necessarily the case. In fact, the number of divorce cases in the US has significantly increased in the past years. Today, a little more than 40% of Americans have gone through a divorce at least once in their lives. In the state of Tennessee, which is relatively small in terms of population and land area, Tennessee divorce records are steadily piling up in the state's repositories.

Even though a divorce record is an essential part of any divorcee's marital past, it is not something that one can be proud of. But aside from it being a constant reminder of a failed marriage, records like these do contain essential information that can be useful to anyone doing background searches. Such records offer a more complete marriage history. Names, addresses, age, alimony, children, custody, reason for the divorce, as well as the date and time when the divorce was made legal are all included in the record. These details can provide you with an insight of the couple's marital history.

Under the state's Department of Health, the Vital Records Office is responsible for keeping and maintaining divorce records in the state, as well as any other type of vital records. For anyone who wants to acquire a certified copy of a divorce record, the Vital Records office is the first place you should go to. When you present your proper credentials and you have paid for the required charges and processing fees, you will get a certified and legal copy of the divorce record you asked for.

Apart from the Vital Records office, you may also get access to Tennessee divorce records at the local county court clerk's office. But the key here is figuring out which county the couple filed for the divorce. Mind you, this task won't be easy since there are a lot of counties in Tennessee, 95 to be exact. For more inclusive search results, you can provide the names of the individuals involved, as well as your contact number and a valid mailing address.

By state and federal law, divorce court records are deemed public domain and therefore should be accessible by the general public. In accordance with both the state and federal laws, vital records such as births, deaths, marriages and divorces are available to anyone who wants access, provided that he or she complies with the proper procedures set by the state and the local county courthouse that conducted the divorce proceedings and so on.

Since the demand for instant gratification is at an all-time high nowadays, a number of private and commercial record providers have started offering their services online. All that is required of you is a small fee and you can get access to almost any kind of vital record, including divorce records from virtually any state. Since these providers' databases are not limited to a single state, you can literally gain access to vital records from anywhere in the US without having to leave the comfort of your home, or chair for that matter.
