How To Grab Free Divorce Records Online

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.

Every member of the general public has access to divorce records because they are deemed as part of the public domain. It is allowed to request a divorce record that is your own. And in case you find any information that you think is not accurate, you can ask the custodian of your records to have it looked at and make the appropriate corrections. It is also possible to get access to the records of other people. Law enforcers, lawyers, and those who want to check the marital status of a future spouse are some of the people who are given access to other people's records. However, the amount of information that you will be given will vary depending on who you are and what you need the records for. You have to state your reason for wanting to obtain the records and if the custodian does not find your reason to be valid, they have the right to reject your 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.
