In light of the most recent <strong>divorce<\/strong> statistics, the fear of a new marriage ending in divorce might be well founded. However, there are precautions one can take to help increase the chances of a \u201chappily ever after\u201d ending. If you\u2019ve been thinking about marriage recently, it\u2019s natural for divorce to also be on your mind \u2013 especially if you\u2019re uncertain about your <strong>partner\u2019s marriage history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Learning more about your partner and their past can be a helpful stepping stone to squashing your marriage fears once and for all, and it could provide you with valuable information to help you invest in a healthy, committed, and long-standing marriage. In this article, we\u2019ll go over some of the important information a <strong>pre-marriage background check<\/strong> can offer.<\/p>\n<h2>The Two Most Important Elements of a Pre-Marital Background Check:<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you know your partner is a divorcee or not, it\u2019s critical to protect yourself before getting too serious. If you\u2019re headed toward marriage, there are a few elements that you should absolutely look into before you agree to share your life with someone. It\u2019s reasonable to consider that the following two components should be included in any pre-marital background check:<\/p>\n<h3>Verifying Identity<\/h3>\n<p>In an age where <strong>identity theft<\/strong> is running rampant, it\u2019s important to verify your partner\u2019s identity on a basic level. Verifying an individual\u2019s identity might especially be salient if you are engaged in an online romance, where personal details are somewhat easier to hide from the get-go. It\u2019s relatively easy to assume someone else\u2019s identity, particularly online \u2013 so it\u2019s important to cover the basics upfront.<\/p>\n<h3>Marriage Background<\/h3>\n<p>As we said before, divorce rates are at an all-time high, which means that it\u2019s highly likely to become involved with a partner who has a marital past. Furthermore, divorce can be a shameful experience for some, and they may not feel comfortable divulging that information to a new romantic partner. Before you take the plunge, especially if you\u2019re uncertain about your partner\u2019s past, you have the right to <a href=\"\/blog\/why-to-check-your-partners-past-marriage-record\/\">know about their previous attempts at marriage<\/a>. At the very least, it\u2019s important to ensure your partner\u2019s past marriages are completely, legally dissolved before moving forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Important Information to Verify<\/h2>\n<p>Besides your partner\u2019s identity and their <a href=\"\/blog\/facts-to-check-out-in-divorce-records\/\">divorce record<\/a>, it\u2019s also important to consider other factors to increase the success of your marriage. Here are a few others you may not have thought of:<\/p>\n<h3>Criminal Past<\/h3>\n<p>Keeping past marriages or divorces a secret is somewhat understandable; however, if your partner has a criminal past, particularly in <strong>domestic violence<\/strong>, then it\u2019s something you absolutely have the right to know about up front. Protecting yourself from marriage dissolution is important, but protecting your <strong>safety<\/strong> takes precedence.<\/p>\n<h3>Credit and Financial Status<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest reasons for divorce is <strong>financial problems<\/strong> or <strong>disagreements<\/strong>. <strong>Financial transparency<\/strong> is another issue that couples frequently have trouble with. While <strong>debt<\/strong> is a huge part of our culture as it seems, you still have the right to know about what debt you\u2019ll be assuming when you marry someone else. Checking your partner\u2019s credit status can open the door for a conversation that is much needed in every marriage in the country, and should be discussed before any contracts are signed.<\/p>\n<h2>A Note About Online Romances<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Online relationships<\/strong> bring another element to transparency that many individuals haven\u2019t gotten the hang of yet. It\u2019s quite easy to pretend you\u2019re someone else online; names, birth dates, family, marital or relationship past, and much other pertinent information can be falsified rather easily. A special caution to those who partake in online dating is this: <a href=\"\/blog\/how-background-checks-ensure-your-online-dating\/\">background checks<\/a> are a way to not only promote the success of your relationship, but to ensure your safety.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.affordablebackgroundchecks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pre-Marital-Background-Check.jpg\" alt=\"Pre-Marital Background Check\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.affordablebackgroundchecks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pre-Marital-Background-Check.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.affordablebackgroundchecks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pre-Marital-Background-Check-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How We Can Help You<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.affordablebackgroundchecks.com\/\">Affordable Background Checks<\/a> is a <strong>simple, user-friendly online service<\/strong> for conducting background check verifications.
