Q: If, in my divorce case, there is NOT a "Notice of Entry of Judgment Mailed" in the court documents, am I divorced?
California location. I don't find the words, "Notice of Entry Judgment" in any wording in the list of documents, in the documents I can find online. Even if it wasn't "mailed". What is my status? As you know, the courts are not open for viewing of files, and my divorce files were never put online for me to purchase.
My friend has the words, "Notice of Entry Judgment Mailed" in her set of documents that she can find online.
A: It is a separate document. You may need to call or write to the court and request a copy of it. When the court's re-open, you could request one in person. You can still use the judge signed document for all purposes to say show you are divorced, but complete the package as soon as you can.
