Divorce is the solution chosen by many when their marriage is no longer working. In California, divorce cases filed each year is increasing which is why access to CA divorce records is made available to the public. Such document is one of the most requested file in California.

Divorce records are regularly requested by the residents of California for a number of reasons. The document is used when the divorced couple would need to update their property declaration as well as their beneficiary list. It serves as proof of one's status especially when dealing with transactions that involves the couple such as insurance and the like. Aside from government transactions, divorce records are also used as reference when conducting genealogy research. It is not as important as other public documents when it comes to genealogy but it may still cause confusions for the future generation. If the divorcee has plans to remarry, the legal separation papers have to be presented during marriage application to be allowed to marry again.

One can only find the basic details about the separation of a couple such as when and where the couple had their separation legalized. The names of the divorcees are indicated on the record together with their marriage information. Unfortunately, details such as the reason why the divorce was filed are kept confidential. Aside from this, one cannot find information about the agreement about the custody of the children and tier assets and properties.

Since the document contains sensitive information that may affect the well being of an individual, access to it is strictly limited to the divorcees and their immediate family. Those who need to gain access to the said file should have a special court order to have the request granted. It is also important that one has the basic details of the record being requested and the contact details of the one who requested it. This can help simplify the retrieval process.

Unlike other states where the divorce records can be obtained from the office of the Vital Statistics, California divorce certificates is not available at the said office. One can only request for the certificate at the county where the separation was made legal. Charges may not be the same for all counties. If one does not know where the divorce was registered, one can seek help from the Vital Statistics office and they can give you information as to where to go to get the needed document. It only cost $13 to search for information about the county and this is only possible for records from 1962-1984. Mail requests can also be sent to the county office but all of the requirements and information as well as the payment should be included in the mail. It usually takes a maximum of 14 business days before the results of the mail request can be sent to the requesting individual.
