California Free Public Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce is the solution chosen by couple's whose marriage is no longer working. Sadly, the number of divorce cases in California is also increasing. This is the reason why the divorce public records California manages are made open to the public. This means that the residents can request for a copy of such document whenever they have a need for it.

When a couple has been granted legal separation, the couple's family records have to be immediately updated. Problems may be encountered by the future generation. This is the reason why divorce records are also used as reference when conducting genealogy research. Dealing with transactions in the government would also call for a copy of a divorce record. It is used when one needs to update their status in the government files and insurance matters.

A divorce certificate in California would contain details of the couple's separation. The document highlights details such as the date and the place where the divorce was filed and registered. The complete names of the couple are indicated on the document as well as the names of the people who became witnesses to the separation.

One can only find the basic details of a divorce on a public document. Further details are kept away from public access. The reason for the separation as well as the name of the one who filed for the separation remains private. Details such as the agreement about the child custody along with the division of the couple's assets and properties are also kept confidential. This was done to respect the couple's involved.

Divorce records from 1962 to 1984 have to be requested at the county office. The office of the Department of Health under the Vital Records Section is where all of the divorce records are being archived. However, the office does not release the certified copy of the divorce in California. One has to go to the office of the county clerk where the divorce was filed in order to proceed with the retrieval. The state office can only provide information about where the divorce can be obtained. This would cost $13. Access to the divorce files is only open to the divorcees themselves. One has to be granted a special permission to proceed with the retrieval of other people's divorce certificate. In order to proceed with the request, the basic details of the document being obtained have to be provided. One is also required to provide their personal details to have the request granted.

Requesting public records for divorce in the state of California has been made easy with the help of the Internet. This method has made the retrieval convenient and fast. Not only that it speeds up the retrieval process but the use of the Internet frees you from the hassle of going to the office just to file the request.
