Legitimate Background Checks....IT CAN BE DONE and CHEAPLY!

[joni]

My DH was in Upstate NY on Monday-Tuesday.  Went to the State Police to get background check on drunk SF.

He found out that in NY, there's the NYS Office of Court Administration in NY, NY.  For $52, they'll do a complete and comprehensive STATEWIDE criminal history record search.

For those in NY, the phone number is 212.428.2810.  The efficiency is mind boggling.  Any requests received by 11am will be completed by 4pm the next day!  Here's the link for the form.

We just sent ours in.  Will let you know the results.  But it started me thinking, this service has got to be available for every state.  If we pooled our resources and you went to our perspective states and found out how this could be done....LEGITIMATELY....I think it would be a great resource for all of us to aid in our divorces and child custody determinations.

Take the time to find out for your state.  Even if you don't need it, you'll help someone else here or maybe you'll need it some day.  It was not easy for my DH to find this out.  We're in Chicago.  He went to NY for a psych eval and then drove around to three different court house (about 200 miles of driving) to get the correct info.

I am sending this info to Waylon to post on the New York links resources.
