California Updated Divorce Records

by Ben Kingsley

Accounts of divorce in California are maintained in conformity with the Freedom of Information Act. As with any other region in the country, specific rules and methods have to be employed to attain these documents. Previously, one can obtain such records without having to pay for some amount. But when the expenses involved and the number of petitions has escalated, the state enforced particular charges for this.

One should take into account that a copy of a certain divorce record can only be given to individuals whose names are revealed in the data, a legitimate representative and a person or an entity sanctioned by government law.

The California Department of Health Services' Office of Vital Records keeps divorce files of the state from 1962 to June 1984. You can order by mail if you want to get hold of a copy of such document. You just have to pay the amount of $13.00 to search the data and to identify the exact location where the divorce was approved. You can also choose to fax your petition but you will incur an extra fee of $7.00. The agency does not receive cash payments so prepare your personal check or money order payable to CDPH Vital Records. You must also ensure that you mention your contact number and complete address in case the file you need will be mailed to you.

The aforementioned bureau will give you a Certificate of Record which indicates the names of the individuals involved in the divorce, the date of filing, the county where the divorce was granted, and the court case number. Keep in mind that this paper is not an authenticated duplicate of the divorce data. It also does not reveal any information if the dissolution of marriage was finalized in court.

A certified true copy of a divorce record can be acquired from the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county where the marriage split up transpired. You will need to submit a sworn statement bearing your signature and a completely filled out application form. You must indicate the necessary details such as the current and birth names of the husband and wife, the county and date of divorce. If you are going to submit your request via mail, have your sworn statement notarized, or else, your appeal will be considered as incomplete and will not be acknowledged. Keep in mind that any amount of money you paid will not be given back to you. Since the bureau lacks manpower, you will have to wait for about 15 to 20 weeks before you will get the files you need.

Currently, divorce is becoming commonplace. So if you want to delve into your family tree, and you need to look into a specific divorce decree in the fastest possible time, you can search online through the various online communities available. The fees you have to pay are a bit pricey, but you are assured to get hold of the document you need in a breeze.
