Acquiring Free Public Divorce Records

by Claire Dowell

One of the daunting tasks a person can do is trying to find a public record that has all the information you need. Among the records that people request most of the time are California Divorce Records. You have to be a tough cookie to find what you are looking for, or find other means. In any case with records, there are a few ways you can make your search easy for you. The California Department of Health Services or CDHS has split into two departments in 2007. The certificates and licenses are maintained by the California of Public Health or CDPH. They keep records of marriages, divorces, birth and death at their Vital Records Office. The other department is the Department of Health Care Services or DHCS.

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.

Certified copies of divorce decrees can only be provided by the Supreme Court in the county wherein the divorcees have filed their divorce. This document states the total details which include matrimonial assets, alimony order, child support, and custody and visitation rights. It also specifies the nature of the disagreement between the divorcees.

Another phrase for divorce records is records of marriage dissolution. When you look for either a marriage or divorce record, you will find that these two are often beside each other. This is because the government and commercial sources often fuse these two in their databases. When a divorcee wants to get married again and apply for a marriage license, he or she needs to provide a certified copy of divorce record which has the specifics of the proper termination of his or her previous marriage.

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.
