Easy Way To Find California Divorce Records

By Claire Dowell


It is the task of the Florida Department of Health, under their Vital Records office, to maintain Free California Divorce Records. The agency keeps documents of divorce that took place between 1962 and 1984. In addition, the agency can only provide a certificate that serves as proof that a divorce was finalized. If you want to acquire a certified copy of the documents, including those not kept by the Vital Records office, you can head to the Clerk of Superior Court of the exact county where the divorce took place.

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.

A divorce file is a compilation of vital details regarding the outcome of a divorce case. It reveals the name of the husband and the wife, their address, when they were born and how old they are, and the names of their parents, amongst others. It also reveals the terms and conditions of a divorce case according to the presiding judge such as matters on child custody and division of assets and liabilities.

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.

The county Clerk of Superior Court can also provide the public with Divorce Court Records. It is the right of the owner of the documents and its custodian to give or deny a person access. It is prohibited by the law to use the documents to defame, to blackmail or to harass other individuals. Violators shall be dealt with accordingly by the court.
