Q: I am in Germany. How do I get my divorce papers from the California Northern District Court in San Jose?
A: You will need to write to the Family Law Clerk, Santa Clara County Superior Court in San Jose, California. You should be able to look up the Website of the Santa Clara County Superior Court on the Internet, and find both the Address for the Family Law Clerk's Office and the telephone number. Even though International Telephone Calls are expensive, you may want to telephone the Family Law Clerk to get information about how much they will charge. You may need to look up the Case Number at the Santa Clara County Superior Court Website. In a divorce case, there is information available about your case online. You will probably need a Certified Copy of the Judgement for Dissolution of Marriage, and you want to be sure to get copies of any orders relating to Child Support or Spousal Support, and any court orders modifying Child Custody and Visitation, or Child Support or Spousal Support. You may find it easier to hire a local lawyer who can help you by contacting the court directly.
