Are you still producing your fired certificate, 17 years down the line, for every background check, rental application, and date?

I don't know what a fired certificate is unless you're making a funny about you needing to do that with a divorce certificate? I also don't know what that is either. There's a divorce decree issued by the court, is that what you mean? Have you actually had a date ask to see legal documents about your divorce or any of the other situations? I just have no experience with any of that so it seems very strange, and feels like your just belaboring the point.

Yes, divorces are processed through the courts. Yes, it comes with a certificate. Yes, it affects your legal life forever more.

As that's all pretty basic... Maybe you... Don't understand divorce well enough to say whether or not it fits an analogy.

Been there done that got the decree and everything. You’re right, I don’t understand your musings as not once has anyone ever asked to see proof of my divorce. Some forms that ask about marital status might have a divorced option, but not all. It does not affect my credit. It does not affect job interviews. I really just have no way to relate to what you’re saying as it has never happened to me, nor have I ever heard anyone else complain about needing to provide this certificate. You are literally the first person. That’s such an outlier that I have to question its legitimacy.

Go get a background check, as legally required for most job applications. Equifax cares about more than just your credit rating.

But as you call it a "decree", and I only know one legal system that does (Texas), we're probably from different backgrounds here.
