By Ben Kingsley


CA divorce records are files that the residents of California can request anytime when they need it. These are one of the documents which have been mandated by the government to make its access available to the public in accordance to the Freedom of Information Act.

The residents of California use this document for a number of reasons. It is one of the primary requirements when dealing with some transactions in any government offices. It is used as proof of one's identification and status especially when processing request related to insurance and other financial matters. Another important use of this document is for marriage applications. A divorced individual cannot apply for remarriage if one cannot secure a copy of his/her divorce certificate. It is one of the important documents that need to be presented to be allowed to marry again. Those who need to check the marital status of their partners would refer to their divorce records. This can help them determine the sincerity of the one's they are dating since they would know whether the person is legally separated or not.

One would know the names of the one who got divorced. The date and the place where the couple was granted legal separation are also indicated on the file. One would also know the name of the prosecutor who handled the divorce proceedings. Unfortunately, only the basic details are shown on a public document. Information such as the reason for the separation as well as the name of the one who petitioned for the separation is not visible to the public. The custody of the children is also kept private along with the information about the division of assets and properties.

It is also important that one has the basic information of the record that is being requested. One can indicate on the application form the name of the file as well as the date and the place where the separation took place. The document is only released if the one who filed the request is one of the divorcees or their immediate family. Those who request for the files of other people has to secure an authorization letter or a court order before they can be granted access to the file.
