How To Grab Free Divorce Records Online

By Claire Dowell


If you want to obtain Free California Divorce Records, you can obtain them from the Vital Records office of the California Department of Health. However, the office only maintains records of divorce that date between 1962 and 1984 and they can only give you a certificate of the records. If you want to get access to all divorce records and if you want a certified copy, you can only get them at the specific County Clerk of Superior Court that finalized the divorce.

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.

Citizens are granted access to divorce files because they are deemed as part of public files. Every citizen owns the right to get their own files and if errors are found on it, they can have it corrected by the caretaker of the file. It is also allowed to access the files of other individuals but it is not a right enjoyed by everyone. Some of the individuals that are granted access include the members of the law enforcement, lawyers and those who conduct history checks on the marital status of a future life partner. The extent of access granted to such people depends on the identity of the requestor and the reason for wanting to acquire it. If the caretaker of the files thinks that the reason for requesting a file is invalid, they have the authority to reject the request.

The important details of a divorce case are put on a divorce document. It contains the full names of the husband and wife, their date of birth and age, and the names of their parents, amongst others. The terms and conditions of the divorce case like child custody arrangement and division of assets and liabilities, as decided by a presiding judge, can also be found on the document.

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.

You can also get your hands on Divorce Court Records by heading to a particular County Clerk of Superior Court. You have to ask permission from the owner of the file and from the court before you can be granted access. If the situation calls for it, the court can reject a request. And if anybody utilizes the files for the purpose of defaming, blackmailing or harassing someone, the court has the jurisdiction to impose penalties.
