California Free Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Divorce records in California are only one of the many documents that have been opened for public access in the state. This makes it easier for the residents of the state to request for a copy of such document should they have a need for it.

A couple usually decides to file divorce if they think that the problems in their marriage can no longer be fixed. Such emotional event has to be documented. The separation of couple is documented to make it official. With this, the document can then be used in a number of transactions that call for such documents. Some transactions in the government would require a copy of a divorce certificate since it will serve as proof of one's identity. Insurance related matters and other financial matters are examples of transactions that require such document. Marriage is another use of such document. Without it, the application for remarriage may be denied.

Divorce certificates in California would contain information about the separation of a couple. Details such as the date and the place where the divorce took place can be found on the file. The document shows the couple's complete names and basic personal information and the marriage details. Unfortunately, not all details of the separation are available for public access. The reason why the couple opted for separation is kept away from public access along with the agreement about the custody of the children and the division of the couple's property and assets.

Getting a copy of a divorce recording California, means that one has to prepare some information that can help in the retrieval process. One can give important dates and places as well as the names of the couple involved. Additionally, the requesting individual needs to provide their contact details on during the search since it will be used to check what reaction you have with the person on the file. This is because the document is only released if the one when requested it is the person himself or the immediate family.

Unlike many states, the state of California does not release a copy of a divorce certificate through the office of the Vital Records Section, only the county Clerk of Supreme Court can. The state office however, can verify some information for you and can tell you where the document can be requested. Sadly, the verification process cost $13 only. The retrieval fees may vary on where the request was made. The state office accepts mailed in request but the results of the search can be sent back only after a few days since it was requested.

To hasten the search process, one can request for the document online. This is way faster and hassle free since there is no need to go to any office just to file the request. Some websites even lets the users search for a copy of a divorce records free of any fees.
