How to Find out for Free if Someone Was Divorced in Connecticut
If you just started dating someone who claims to be divorced, you likely want to confirm that he or she isn’t still married. We probably all have heard of someone who found out that their wonderful new boyfriend or girlfriend was actually still married. Most people prefer to avoid a situation where they are accused of being a homewrecker.
I recommend first checking this free website since it’s easy to use:
RootsWeb – Free database of records created by the members of an online genealogy community, containing almost 6,000 divorce records.
Since RootsWeb only contains 6,000 divorce records nationally, it may not contain the divorce record you seek. The next step is to search the court records for the state where the person allegedly got a divorce. This is the website for Connecticut divorce records:
Connecticut Civil & Family Court Cases – Search for divorce records (the legal term is “dissolution of marriage”) by party name. Case information is displayed and available online for one year to a maximum period of ten years after the disposition date.
Is being a private detective really that dangerous? I noticed on another post someone asking about this.
