📄 How do I get a copy of a divorce decree in California? ▼

California divorce decrees are held by the Superior Court in the county where the divorce was filed. Three ways to obtain a copy: (1) In person or mail at the Clerk's office at the courthouse where the case was filed. Standard fee statewide $40 first 5 pages + $0.50 each additional page certified (Cal. Gov. Code § 70626); non-certified $0.50 per page; search-record fee $50 for archived files. (2) Online via the county Superior Court — many counties offer online ordering. LA County has an Online Document Order at https://www.lacourt.ca.gov/pages/lp/access-a-case/tp/os-access-court-documents/cp/divorce-judgment-documents. (3) For divorces 1962–1984, CDPH Vital Records at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/Pages/Vital-Records.aspx issued divorce certificates ($16 each). Important: from 1985 onward, certified copies come ONLY from the Superior Court Clerk in the filing county — CDPH does NOT issue post-1984 divorce certificates. Find the case first at the California Courts directory at https://www.courts.ca.gov/find-my-court.htm — click the county, search by party name. Filing fees for new divorces (for context): Petition for Dissolution $435–$450; Response $435; both fees waivable under FW-001. Sealed cases (DV-related, financial-disclosure orders, family files involving minors) are not visible to the public. Apostille for international use: get the certified copy from the Clerk first, then submit to California Secretary of State, 1500 11th St, Sacramento.

❓ Are autopsy reports in California considered public records, and how can I obtain one? ▼

Yes — California autopsy reports are generally public records under the California Public Records Act (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 7920.000–7931.000), with limited exemptions. The coroner's duty to investigate violent, sudden, or unusual deaths is set in Cal. Gov. Code § 27491, and the resulting autopsy report is treated as a public record once finalized — UNLESS withholding is justified under § 7923.600 (active investigation), § 27491.7 (juvenile/sexual-assault victim protection), or § 7927.700 (privacy of next-of-kin photos). How to obtain one: file a CPRA request with the county Coroner / Medical Examiner where the death occurred. Major California examples: LA County Department of Medical Examiner at https://me.lacounty.gov/document-services — autopsy report copy fee typically ~$13 + $0.20/page; OC Sheriff-Coroner at https://ocsheriff.gov/commands-divisions/investigations-special-operations-command/coroner/faqs — email Coroner_Requests@ocsheriff.gov, reports returned by email at no charge; San Diego ME at https://www.sdsheriff.gov, $280 coroner release fee for body release (separate from report); Sacramento Coroner; Alameda Coroner's Bureau; Santa Clara ME-Coroner. Coroner release fees for body/personal effects (NOT report fees) are higher: LA $359, OC $318, SD $280. Required to receive a release under § 27491.3. Turnaround: 10 calendar days for routine; 14 days extension allowed for unusual circumstances. What's redacted: identifying victim info if minor or sex-offense victim; toxicology results may be withheld during active investigation; autopsy photos rarely released except to immediate next of kin. For death certificates (separate document, not the autopsy): order from the county DPH or CDPH at $26 per certified copy under AB 64 effective 2026. Apostille for international use: get certified copy first, then submit to California SOS. Sources: Cal. Gov. Code §§ 27491, 27491.3, 27491.7, 7923.600; LA County ME; OC Sheriff-Coroner; AllCaliforniaCremation fee schedule.
