Acquiring Free Public Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


Looking up public records such as California Divorce Records is a challenge for most people. If you are able to succeed in finding the divorce record you are looking for in a long time, it can either mean that you have been persistent enough or that you do not know of other means. There are several steps that are needed to obtain a file regardless of what type they are. In 2007, the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) was reorganized into two separate departments. These were the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). Licenses and certificates are under the former. Among its functions is keeping the records on birth, death, marriages and divorces at its Vital Records Office.

California is one of the four states that do not monitor divorces in its state. The other ones are Indiana, Louisiana and Colorado. The Office of Vital Records in Sacramento California can only provide a Certificate of Record as long as the divorce occurred in the years 1962 to 1984. For divorce records with more details, the county wherein the divorce was filed can give it.

A Certificate of Record consists of the names of the involved parties, the court case number and the county where the divorce was filed. It is not the same as a divorce decree and it does not state whether the divorce was finalized in court. A fee of $13 is needed and the certificate's processing time takes more than six months. It is advised that anybody who wants to request must submit the request to the County Recorder's Office in the county where they filed the divorce.

A certified copy of a divorce decree can be obtained from Supreme Court in the county where the divorce happened. The personal particulars of the said divorce are indicated in the document. It includes the information on child support, alimony order, declaration on matrimonial assets, visitation rights as well as custody. Moreover, it provides the information about the disposition on other contentions of the divorce.

Record of Marriage Dissolution is another term for divorce records. Marriage and divorce records mostly appear side by side in a search regardless of what the primary record it is you are looking for. Both of these records are often merged in government and commercial files. California is one of the states that require a certified copy of Divorce Records that contains the proper dissolution of past marriages when a divorcee needs to re-marry and applies for a marriage license.

Theoretically, California has an amount of divorce cases that is massive even when compared to its huge amount of residents. Even though divorce records in counties are somewhat separate, it could bring in a compilation nonetheless. Fortunately, there is another way of getting free divorce records and that is through online records providers. These providers can offer a simpler quicker method of getting the divorce records you need. There are free and paid providers, and each can supply you with the information on a varying degree.
