Find Out If Someone Is Divorced

Michelle Wilson - June 18, 2019

In this era of digital dating, you can investigate any if not all your love interests. Maybe you want to confirm your date is telling the truth about something, or whether there are any skeletons in their closet before you go any further with the relationship.

It is hard for people to be completely honest about their past relationships, especially when a failed marriage is one of them. At the beginning of a relationship, it is hard to come clean about your past because you might scare away the other person.

It is also a habit for people to say that they are divorced, but it has not been finalized. This means that they are still married in the eyes of the law. A good person will be honest from the beginning.

This, however, should not stop you from protecting yourself by doing a little digging on your own. There are several ways you can find out if a person is divorced. Here are a few of your options.

Social Media

Social media is the first place to go to if you want to dig up information about someone. On social media, you will get both visual evidence in the form of pictures and written evidence or clues. There are different social media platforms, but all you have to do find out which one your date is most active on.

You will then need the name that they use on the said social media platform be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat. Once you have their names, you go ahead and search for them. If you are not friends already on Facebook, you will need to send them a friend request.

Once they have accepted your request, you can go ahead and start looking through written posts and pictures in their galleries. On image-focused sites such as Instagram and Snapchat, you need only follow them, and you can have access to their photos and videos. You can start by looking at any pictures with children or look at the profile pages of their relatives.

People who are adamant about hiding their past avoid social media. The beauty of social media, however, is that you cannot hide forever. Even if you have been given the wrong account name, you can find someone by looking at the pictures.

Vital Records Offices

Vital records offices are responsible for birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce records. All that snooping on social media might have increased your doubt, and you want to be sure that your new catch is not hitched.

To get any divorce records, you will need to pay a small fee. You will also need to know the name of the spouse of your significant other. Additionally, you will need to know the state where they got married. If the social media digging bore any fruit, you should have all this information.

In some states, the process has been made more accessible, and you can get the divorce records online also for a small fee. You can also request for the documents to be sent you via mail. This will take much longer as the office needs to process the request and the payment. It is much better to go in person or request online.

Online Background Check

The CheckPeople divorce records search is one of the easiest ways to find out if someone is divorced quickly. CheckPeople.com searches through all public records available and gives you a detailed report on the person you are looking for. All you need is a name, phone number, and a location.

By searching through public records, CheckPeople.com will provide you with information such as possible relatives, common aliases that the person uses, assets, businesses that the person is associated with and much more.

Under possible relatives, you might find someone who shares the last name, which is not the sister or the brother but the wife. Property records might show if they acquired any property from a divorce. Also, the files might display if your new catch co-owned a home with someone else. The first thing that you have to do is sign up and become a member and start getting information on people.

Most websites that offer this service are discreet. A person won’t know that you were searching for their records online. It is perfectly safe to use CheckPeople.com. Doing a background check online is harmless. You should know, however, that it is wrong to invade someone’s privacy. Information from these sites should not be used illegally or to stalk someone or to contact them without their consent.

Hire a Private Investigator

Private investigators are very resourceful people. They can do a lot with just a phone number or a picture. You can hire a private investigator if you do not have the time to research on your own. If you decide to use a PI, be ready to spend some money.

It is not known how much time it will take a PI to get the information that you want. It depends mainly on what they have to go on. Be sure to provide the investigator with as much information as possible so he can take the shortest time to get you the information. Hiring a PI should be the last resort. Make sure you are stuck by the time you consider getting one.

What next after you find out your partner is divorced? This should not necessarily be a deal breaker. Everybody has a past, and sometimes it is not a pleasant one. Maybe your partner does not want to share with you because they are ashamed, or they want to put it behind them for good.

Also, having this knowledge should not push you to go and confront your partner about it. If it is still early in the relationship, try giving them some time. Maybe when they are sure they trust you and believe that the relationship has a future, they will tell you everything.
