Another Option To Search For Divorce Records California

By Claire Dowell


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.

The divorce certificate would only contain the basic information of the separation. Sensitive information about the divorce is kept confidential to protect the privacy of the couple. Information such as the reason for the separation is not visible in a public document. One cannot find the name of the one who filed the separation on a public file. The custody of the children as well as the information about the properties and assets of the couple are not available on a public document.

The office of the Vital Records Section of the Department of Health is the one responsible for keeping all of the divorce records of the state. However, the said office cannot issue certified copies of the document. One has to get the certified copy at the county where the couple filed the divorce. Furthermore, records from 1962 to 1984 have to be requested only at the office of the county clerk where the separation was filed. The state office can still help with the retrieval by providing information as to where the request can be done. Unfortunately, the verification process is not free and would cost $13 only. One should know that the document can only be released if the request was made by the divorcees themselves. Others can still get a copy of a divorce certificate of other people by conducting a special request permitting them to access other people's files. To proceed with the retrieval one has to provide the basic details of the document being requested and also provide their contact details.

Requesting public records for divorce in the state of California has been made easy with the help of the Internet. This method has made the retrieval convenient and fast. Not only that it speeds up the retrieval process but the use of the Internet frees you from the hassle of going to the office just to file the request.
