Marriages undergo wear and tear over time. For every failure in providing emotional support and intimacy, a part of the marriage fades. For each conflict that hung in the air without resolution, bonds loosen. Failure to rekindle this fire will result in a different kind of forever. These various factors, along with the universal web of emotions associated with divorces, are experienced by almost half of the celebrated marriages in the United States.

The by-products of a granted divorce, called divorce records are archived for many a number of intentions. The primary purposes of these documents are to present a comprehensive divorce history, and provide an actual proof that a couple's marital vows have been completely severed, upon a Judge's say-so. Some notable intentions for obtaining copies of records of divorce include the reinstatement of a woman's original name, extensive marital background checks, and in the case of remarrying individuals as a requirement for the issuance of a marriage license anew.

In Arkansas, divorce documents are disseminated by different repositories. Divorce decrees and certificates are held by the Office of the County Clerk and Circuit Clerk on a county level. On the other hand, divorce records from January 1923 up to the present, as well as divorce coupons are stored and distributed via the Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records Section. Divorce coupons are the bottom parts of divorce certificates.

The procedure for getting a hold of Arkansas divorce records begins with the completion of an application form for divorce records. The information that must be specified in this application includes any valid government-issued photo ID, the names of the husband and the wife, together with the wife's maiden name, the date of the divorce, the county in which the divorce was granted, your relationship to the couple, and your intentions for procuring such copies. This application form is then mailed along with a check or money order payable of $10 which will serve as a processing fee to the Arkansas Department of Health.

According to the Arkansas Vital Records Statute 20-18-305, the general public is prohibited from obtaining such records. The only entities allowed access to these documents are the persons related to the divorcees, their designated representatives, academic research groups and people who can demonstrate a right to the record. Moreover, different policies are implemented by county clerks and circuit clerks with regards to the dissemination of divorce decrees. Contact the county clerk if you are looking for the divorce decree of a divorce that was granted in their area of responsibility.

The process of searching and retrieving divorce and other public records can now be executed with utmost ease and convenience with the help of today's technology. This is done by pulling out a quick search about a person's information in any government or private owned records retrieval solutions. Such modern alternatives can dish out a desired record within minutes, and potentially acquire them after a few days. Because the concept of convenience is greatly upheld by such approaches, it has become a rather popular search endeavor performed over the Internet.
