Acquiring Online California Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


If you want to obtain Free California Divorce Records, you can obtain them from the Vital Records office of the California Department of Health. However, the office only maintains records of divorce that date between 1962 and 1984 and they can only give you a certificate of the records. If you want to get access to all divorce records and if you want a certified copy, you can only get them at the specific County Clerk of Superior Court that finalized the divorce.

To start off a search, you must get the proper request form at the office of Vital Statistics of the Public Health Department or at the County Superior Court where the divorce took place. The form can also be acquired from their respective websites. Fill out the form by supplying the necessary details such as the name of the husband and wife, where they live, their birth dates, and when the divorce transpired. Also provide your contact details like your name, phone number and mailing address.

Divorce documents are made to available to the public because they are considered part of the public domain. A person can request his or her own documents and can even request to have it updated if he or she thinks that there are inaccurate details on it. It is also legal to request the documents of other people. However, this privilege is not given to everybody. There are only a select few that are given this privilege and they include law enforcers, lawyers, and those that want to be sure of their future partner's marital status. The amount of information that will be revealed to these people will vary on who they are and their reason for acquiring the documents. If the caretaker of the documents does not find the reason stated by a requestor as valid, the caretaker has the right to not accept the request.

The important details of a divorce case are put on a divorce document. It contains the full names of the husband and wife, their date of birth and age, and the names of their parents, amongst others. The terms and conditions of the divorce case like child custody arrangement and division of assets and liabilities, as decided by a presiding judge, can also be found on the document.

Another way of obtaining copies of divorce records is by doing an online search. There are online service providers that are authorized by the court to maintain and provide the records to the public. There are many of such service providers on the Internet. However, not all of them can be trusted as there are fake ones that just want to take advantage of people. So before you choose a service provider to do conduct your search on, conduct a background check on them and collect all the facts you can get about them until you are satisfied that they are for real.

You can also get your hands on Divorce Court Records by heading to a particular County Clerk of Superior Court. You have to ask permission from the owner of the file and from the court before you can be granted access. If the situation calls for it, the court can reject a request. And if anybody utilizes the files for the purpose of defaming, blackmailing or harassing someone, the court has the jurisdiction to impose penalties.
