Divorce Records California Online Search

By Claire Dowell


Many of the states in the US are open. This means that the residents of each opened state can request for a copy of any of their personal documents. California is among the opened state that has allowed its residents to access their personal files when they have a need for it. Divorce records in California are one of the documents that can be accessed by its residents.

When marriage is no longer working and the couple thinks it is no longer a healthy relationship, they end up filing for divorce. It is very important to document such proceedings to make the separation legal. By making an official document of the couple's divorce, the document can then be used in legal matters such as doing transactions with the government. There are certain transactions that would call for a copy of a divorce certificate; these transactions usually involve the finances of the couple such as insurance and the assets of the couple. Without the certificate, it may be difficult to proceed with any requests. Another use of a divorce certificate is to get married again. Divorcees who wish to remarry have to provide a copy of the official divorce certificate before they can be allowed to remarry.
