Has anyone done a background check or a credit check on a future spouse?

Question

I know this sounds kind of out there........... but if there were to be any kind of doubts shouldn't we know?

Answer 1

no, but it sure seems like a good idea now.... after the divorce. ugh

Answer 2

It's a good idea to confront your partner about it. NEVER DO THIS BEHIND THEIR BACKS. Your not allowed to anyway but...if your going to get married, you need to know how their credit is, good or bad? what & how many bills they owe, etc. Once you get married, all these debts they have (if they have any) will become yours too. You also should know (even though it's their past) if your partner has convicted any felonies, ever been in jail & for what reasons. These type of things can affect your future together if they keep it a secret. An example of being affected is if....they can't find employment due to a background check, etc. You know that no companies will hire individuals with a criminal background. Here's one last one. I know it's weird but it wouldn't hurt to just check on the website if they are on the Sexual Offenders List. You can type in their name & find out b/c that website is open to the Public for safety reasons. I know all this sounds too much, but hey! you asked & I told what should be best.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU! and if your partner doesn't score well on the background check, don't be too harsh (depending on what it is). He or she might have changed over the years, just b/c their past was a bad one, it doesn't mean they are a bad person today. People go through hardships & make bad decisions sometimes they change, sometimes they don't. You be the judge of it by what you see in them today.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNMVP

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 4

Wow...if there are doubts, they must be substantial or you wouldn't be wondering about this. Do you think he has not been truthul about some (lots of) things?

Are you sure you've been seeing this guy long enough, because it doesn't seem like you know him well enough to even consider marriage.

Trust has to be the basis for any relationship to have a prayer of working. Address the doubts to him first, then let your head decide what the next step should be. Leave your heart out of it for a while.

Good luck.

Answer 5

This is why one needs to date a person for a year or two before marrying them. To get to know them. If you have doubts, break up with them. You wouldn't like someone going behind your back and doing it to you. Say you have done something 10 years earlier, just one thing, like having smoked weed and you want to forget about it. I wouldn't hold that against a person. Or say you had a doctor's bill you forgot to pay years earlier. You wouldn't want him to hold that against you. If in doubt, break up with him. This going behind someone's back is a recipe for disaster, and the only one that will be hurt is you. You'll find that most happily married people never did background or credit checks. You'll also find these people really got to know their spouses before marrying them and didn't shack or have sex with them until they were married.

Answer 6

Extremely rare but does happen especially among the very rich. Extremely drastic and sometimes very expensive and usually unveils absolutely nothing. If this were a sure fire way to catch any crminal types dont you think the tates would do this kind of check when they require a blood test or maybe they do and we dont know it. What a wonderful world that TV has created for us nowadays!

Answer 7

No I haven't but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. See if there is a web site for your state for the Department of Corrections. Do that and no one has to know that you done it. And yes you should know. The person could be a rapist, murderer, serial killer from another state or anything. I don't see anything wrong with it. And you can even suggest it to him, letting the person know you rather be safe than sorry. If they have nothing to hide, then it shouldn't be a problem .

Answer 8

I think that it is ok to do the background check because they will not tell you the truth. But I think that their credit is their business. We should draw the line somewhere. And you should wait until he or she is going to be your spouse.

Answer 9

we all should look into a persons past, as it may be a great predictor of what is to come if we marry that person. could save us from alot of heartache and problems. it is really a good idea. but we never think they will do the same thing to us, because we think they love us too much and that we won't suffer the same fate as the others, but its not true, what they did to others they will certainly do to us under the right circumstances.

Answer 10

I got married before all of that stuff was available. But if I were to get remarried now, I would DEFINATLEY do it. There are too many idiots out there. You have to protect yourself and what you have worked for. I know soooo many women that have been totally screwed.

Answer 11

You should be able to talk about all that before you get married. Most people will tell you about themself and if they dont you will find out shortly.
