California Free Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


CA divorce records are files that the residents of California can request anytime when they need it. These are one of the documents which have been mandated by the government to make its access available to the public in accordance to the Freedom of Information Act.

Divorce records of California are being requested for several reasons. Transactions in the government would sometimes call for a copy of divorce certificates. Examples of this includes, but not limited to, insurance and other financial related matters. The document is used as reference to validate or verify one's identity or status. Marriage is also another reason why the residents of California request for such document. Divorcees who have plans to marry again have to secure a copy of their separation documents before they can be granted marriage. Single individuals would request access to the divorce records of the one's they are dating. This ensures the individuals that they are going out with a person who is really single or legally separated.

A California divorce certificate would contain the only the basic information about the separation. This includes the names of the divorcees. The document would also contain information such as the place and the date where the divorce was filed and registered. The document would also contain the name of the official who approved the separation. Further details about the separation are kept confidential to protect the privacy of the people involved. One cannot find the reason why the couple decided to separate. The document would not publicly show who filed the petition for the divorce. Sensitive information such as the child custody and the property division remain confidential.

Separation filed from 1962-1984 has to be requested at the county where it was registered. One has to pay $18 if the county of occurrence is unknown. In order to have the request processed, it is important that the one who requested for the document know the basic information of the file that is being obtained. The request form should contain the names of the divorced individuals as well as the place and the date when the divorce took place. Only the divorcees and their immediate family are allowed to request for the document. A court order or an authorization letter has to be provided to gain access to other people's file.

The Department of health under the Vital records Section manages the public records of the state. This includes the divorce records of California. One can also seek help from the office of the county clerk where the divorce was registered. Mail requests are also available but the results can be delivered after a few days.

The development of the Internet has allowed the online divorce records to be obtained. This means that one can get a copy of a California divorce record even without going to the any office and the results are displayed in just seconds. This is the reason why most of the residents of California prefer to conduct the request online.
