Nassau County Clerk Of Court
From EjWiki
Divorce records like Nassau County Divorce Records are some of the most requested records from the government, and to understand the reason behind this, one must understand the effect that divorce would have not only upon those people who had been involved in the divorce, but also upon the whole world. It must be remembered that divorce is something that would dissolve marriage and since marriage is something that would have effects that would be binding upon the whole world, it is but logical that that which would dissolve the marriage is also something that the community would be interested in, and the best way to prove the fact of the divorce would be through the use of these records.
The reason why the world would be interested in the fact of the divorce would be because of the effects of divorce upon the rights and responsibilities of the persons who had gotten the divorce. the fact of the marriage means that the persons who had gotten married could not get married again, unless he or she would marry his or her spouse, but since the divorce would dissolve the marriage, this means that the formerly married person could get married again, and it would not matter who he or she would want to tie the knot with.
It must be remembered, however, that divorce records are not public records, which means that only a select few people could make the request for copies of the records, though this does not mean that those who are not related to the parties of the divorce could not confirm the fact of the divorce as they are allowed to request for divorce verification. This verification would only confirm the existence of the records, but not the tidbits of information that may be important to the person making the request. The verification is afforded the presumption of regularity which means that they are presumed to be true at all times, and since the divorce record would only be made if the divorce was granted, then the existence of the records means that the divorce was granted.
A request for copies of the verification records may be done at the state level through the department of health and the procedure for making the request would be to make the request through the mail. Note that while this method would not require the person who is interested in the record to travel to the actual location of the record, a request made through the mail would often take longer because of the inherent slowness of such a request. The typical processing time for the request would be anywhere between six to eight weeks.
Nassau County Divorce Decrees may also be accessed online through the use of online databases which could present information that would be substantially the same as that which may be found from the official archives. Faster, more efficient, and cheaper to use, these databases are also rather easy to find and use, but they are not official sources, hence, any and all information found through these databases could not be used for official proceedings.
