One of which it can be very beneficial is in the case of remarriage where the past marital union is made sure to have really ended. Should you wish to procure a record of divorce in New York, you can do so by requesting it from the Office of the Vital Records. The New York State Department of Health oversees the Vital Statistics Office which is the central repository for vital records in the state.
