The Best California Divorce Records For Everyone

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce is the solution chosen by couple's whose marriage is no longer working. Sadly, the number of divorce cases in California is also increasing. This is the reason why the divorce public records California manages are made open to the public. This means that the residents can request for a copy of such document whenever they have a need for it.

Divorce records are one of the sources of information when conducting a genealogy. It contains information that is necessary when updating the family tree. It the update is not done on a timely manner, the next generation may have confusions about their origins. Another use of such document is for government transactions. Transactions such as insurance related matters and updating one's marital status would call for a copy of a divorce certificate.

One would know where and when the couple has filed their divorce by looking at the divorce record. The document would not be complete and valid without the names of the people involved which include the divorced individuals and the witnesses to the separation.

Unfortunately, not all information about the divorce is documented on the public file. The public can only find the basic details of the separation. One would not find the reason for the separation and the name of the one who petitioned for the divorce. Further details such as the custody of the children are kept confidential along with the division of the couple's properties and assets. All of this information has been kept confidential to respect the privacy of the couple.

Getting a copy of a divorce certificate in the state of California would require a $13 processing fee. Records of divorce which have been registered between 1962 and 1984 have to be obtained at the county clerk office where the divorce has been originally registered. The office of the Vital Records Section at the Department of Health is manages the divorce files of the state, however, the said office does not release a certified copy of such document for the mentioned years. The state office can only help identify which county the separation was filed. Although the document is an open file, access to it is still limited only to the divorcees. The state of California allows its residents to request for a copy of their personal documents only. So getting a copy of the divorce certificate of others would require a special request or permit to be able to do so. In addition to that, the basic details of the divorce record of interest have to be known as it will be used to conduct the retrieval process. Also, the one who requested the document would have to provide their contact details to proceed with the retrieval. It will be used to verify one's identity.

The public records for divorce in California can be obtained through the Internet. Doing the search online, hastens the retrieval process since the need to go to any office is no longer necessary. By doing just a few clicks on the mouse, the results of the search can be displayed. This cuts the time in the retrieval to more than half of the usual time spent.
