Divorce Records

Divorce records are generally obtained from and maintained by the Court in which the divorce was filed. It is always best to contact the Court’s office directly. The below information is provided as a courtesy and does not include all of the potential locations for obtaining records of a divorce. If you are seeking records outside of San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, start with searching for the County Superior Court’s website, or check the “Statewide” heading below.

San Bernardino County

If you are seeking information about a divorce filed with San Bernardino County, please visit the San Bernardino County Court website or call (909) 708-8678.

Record information for divorce filings is available at the Los Angeles Superior Court where the divorce was filed. If the Superior Court location is not known, information can be obtained at the County Courthouse by calling at (213) 830-0803 or going to 111 North Hill St., Los Angeles, CA, 90012.

CDPH is only able to provide a Certificate of Record, which includes the names of the parties, filing date, county, and case number of the divorce. Copies of the actual divorce decree can only be obtained from the Superior Court in the county where the divorce took place.  For questions about divorce records held by CDPH or the process for obtaining records call (916) 558-1784.

Requests for certain Police Department records such as crime/incident reports, call-for-service records, and traffic collision reports, are handled by the Police Department directly. Please view the Police Department’s instructions on obtaining report copies.

The City of Montclair and the Montclair Police Department takes your health and safety and the health and safety of our employees seriously. If this is an emergency, please call 9-1-1. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to the way the City, and the Department, does business to protect everyone from unnecessary risks during the pandemic, including taking many reports by phone to reduce face-to-face exposure.  Recently, we began the process of implementing online reporting for many routine police reporting needs. 

Online reports are a convenient alternative to phone reports.  You can file a report when it’s convenient for you, without having to wait for an officer to call you back.  You can also obtain a copy of the report yourself, which is a further convenience.

There are several reports that are eligible for online reporting.

• Custody order violations
• Harassing phone calls
• Minor vehicle collisions (no injuries)
• Hit-and-run collisions (no injuries)
• Identity theft
• Lost property
• Thefts, vehicle burglaries
• Vandalism
• Vehicle vandalism

If your report is one of these types, and the incident occurred in the City of Montclair, online reporting may be right for you.

File a report online if you meet these basic requirements.
