Acquiring Free Divorce Records Online

By Claire Dowell


Looking up public records such as California Divorce Records is a challenge for most people. If you are able to succeed in finding the divorce record you are looking for in a long time, it can either mean that you have been persistent enough or that you do not know of other means. There are several steps that are needed to obtain a file regardless of what type they are. In 2007, the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) was reorganized into two separate departments. These were the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). Licenses and certificates are under the former. Among its functions is keeping the records on birth, death, marriages and divorces at its Vital Records Office.

There are four states that do not keep track of divorces within the state. These are California, Colorado, Louisiana and Indiana. When it comes to supplying divorce records, the Office of Vital Records in Sacramento, California can only provide a Certificate of Record for divorces between 1962 and 1984. You can get the more detailed information on divorce records from the actual county offices where the divorces occurred.

A Certificate of Record shows the personal particulars of the divorce including the names of parties, the county where it happened and the court case number. However, it does not say whether the divorce was finalized in court or not as it is not similar to a divorce decree. One must pay the $13 fee and wait for at least six months for the record to be gotten. All requests must be addressed to the County Recorder's Office in the county where the divorce is attached to.

The Supreme Court in the county where the divorce was filed is the only one that can supply certified copies of divorce decrees. The document specifies the complete details of the divorce settlement. These characteristically include the declaration on matrimonial assets, child support and alimony order, visitation rights and custody. The divorce decree also contains the disposition on all other conflicts between the divorce parties.

Divorce records are also known as records of marriage dissolution. Most of the time, divorce and marriage records are alongside each other when you do a search no matter what the type between the two you need. Both records are frequently combined in commercial and government files. California is one state that asks a divorcee for a certified copy of the divorce record with the detailed information in order for him or her to apply for a marriage license for re-marrying.

California has a huge amount of residents and also a lot of divorce records. Although county divorce records are somewhat scattered, these can add up to heaps. The good thing is that there is another way of obtaining records from online records providers. There are even sites that provide free divorce records when you do a search in their site. These commercial record providers mostly offer cheap but good services for people who request important records conveniently and faster that processing of government agencies.
