Our Process
Fast, Accurate & Detailed Divorce Title Search Services
When it comes to divorce, thorough property title searches confirm the rightful owners, identify liens, and surface the financial obligations tied to the property. AFX Research delivers certified title search reports with the detail those decisions require.
How an Order Moves
Submit Your Property Details
Provide the property address, APN (Assessor's Parcel Number), county, or any other relevant details through our secure online form. This enables us to initiate the title search and retrieve the necessary public records.
Choose Your Service
Pick the search that fits the matter — a full property history, an ownership verification, a deed retrieval, a lien search, or a divorce title search that confirms ownership is correctly recorded.
Research Begins in the County of Record
A certified abstractor works the records where they live. An AFX Research title search is an in-person search, which is what lets us reach records that are not online in many jurisdictions.
Receive Your Title Report
We deliver your report electronically, often within 12 to 72 hours depending on complexity. Reports are clear, well structured, and carry the documentation needed to make informed decisions.

Why AFX
Why Choose AFX Research for Divorce Title Searches?
At AFX Research we know how urgent and sensitive title research can be in divorce cases. Our team delivers fast, accurate, detailed title search reports that help legal professionals and individuals make informed decisions. With over 30 years of experience, we specialize in uncovering recorded property issues like tax liens, judgments, and claims that were never disclosed. Identifying these early helps mitigate risks that would otherwise surface during property division.
Our full-service approach includes research of prior owner property records and a careful review of local government filings. Title searches are an essential part of the property division process, and we treat them as such — not just a service, but a safeguard for what comes after the decree.
In addition to verifying ownership, AFX Research assesses the liens recorded against the property. Tax liens, judgment liens, or previously undisclosed claims can complicate a settlement and delay proceedings. Our team surfaces them so the settlement can move forward without a late surprise.
