Easiest Way To Search For Free 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 start a search, you must secure a request form at the Vital Records office or at a specific county Clerk of Court. You can also download it from their respective websites. Complete the form appropriately with the required details such as the name of the couple, their address, birthday, and when the divorce took place. Also include your contact details such as your name, phone number, and mailing 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 record contains the essential details of a divorce case. It contains the personal details of the couple such as their full names, their address, their birthday and age, and names of their respective parents to name a few. It also contains the terms and conditions as decided by a presiding judge such as the arrangement on child custody and the division of assets and liabilities.

Divorce files can also be acquired through an online lookup. There are online search tools that have the consent of the court to preserve and supply the files to the public. There are a number of online search tools out there but not all of them are reliable. There are bogus search tools that are looking to earn some money by fooling people. Prior to selecting a search tool to perform your search on, run a history check on them and gather all the information you can about them until you are satisfied that they are reliable.

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.
