The Los Angeles Superior Court provides copies of divorce decrees.
After you go through divorce proceedings, the judge presiding over your case will issue what is known as a divorce decree. A divorce decree is an official document that legally terminates your marriage. In addition, it may also set out certain provisions, such as child and spousal support, that both parties must abide by. In Los Angeles, you may request a copy of your divorce decree through the Los Angeles Superior Court.
