Free Online Georgia Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


The divorce rate in the United States is quite startling. As per the Center for Disease Control, the rate of divorce for 2014 is 3.6 per 1000 population. This implies that in three marriages, two up in a divorce. Factors that could lead to such termination of the once said vows include unmet emotional needs, conflicts left hung in the air, discontent with intimate activities, and irreconcilable differences.

Georgia is not exempted to this divorce upsurge. According to the State Bar of Georgia, there are 13 grounds for divorce. One ground is irreversibly broken (no-fault ground) while the other 12 are fault grounds. A no-fault ground means there is already no hope of reconciliation thus one party refuses to live with the other spouse. Fault grounds include adultery, desertion, conviction and imprisonment for certain crimes, mental or physical abuse, drug addiction, mental illness, impotency and a whole lot more.

In pursuant to the Public Records Law, anyone in the state technically has the right to acquire any public records they need so long as the protocol of procurement is properly adhered to. However, some information that a divorce decree encompasses will always be kept confidential and thus will only be revealed to the individuals involved and to those whose purpose is to scrutinize someone's criminal history. This is done to protect the divorcees' right to confidentiality. Crucial details that are under such protection include the reason why the couple decided to opt for a divorce, the division of assets and liabilities, and the alimony and custody of their child.

The entity responsible for archiving, protecting, and disseminating Georgia divorce records is the state's Department of Health. Entreaties to such document must be addressed to the Vital Records section of the said office. A request form must be accomplished and must include all the relevant details - names of the couple in full, date and county of the event, the reason for your request, your personal details as the requester, and your relationship to the divorcees. You must also furnish a copy of your photo ID. Otherwise, your request will not be processed. Also, a non-refundable search fee of $10 is requisite. This must be in check or money order and must be enclosed along with the duly accomplished request form.
