Quick Method In Searching For Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


If you intend to acquire Free California Divorce Records, you can head to the Vital Statistics office of the California Department of Public Health. The office keeps files of divorce cases that were finalized between 1962 and 1984. However, they can only provide you with a certificate of the files, which is different from a certified copy. If you want access to a certified divorce file, regardless of year, you can get it at the exact County Clerk of Superior court that made the divorce official.

To carry out a search, you must first acquire the proper request form at the Vital Records office or at the Clerk of Superior Court. Another way to acquire the form is by downloading it from their respective official webpage. Supply the pieces of information that the form requires such as the name of the husband and the wife, address, date of birth, and the date of the divorce. Do not forget to supply your personal contact information as well. Supply your name, phone number and 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.
