Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find Modoc County divorce records?
Divorce decrees filed in Modoc County are held by the Clerk of the Superior Court. Search the Public Case Portal | Superior Court of California | County of Modoc case index: https://www.modoc.courts.ca.gov/online-services/public-case-portal. Sealed financial disclosures may require a written request.
What's the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant in California?
An arrest warrant is issued by a judge based on probable cause that a crime was committed. A bench warrant is issued when someone fails to appear in court or violates a court order. Both authorize police to take you into custody in California — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in California?
Yes. Search the Superior Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most California counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
How do I run a California background check?
California background checks are handled by the California Department of Justice. Name-based searches are available through the official state portal (per-search fee applies). Fingerprint-based checks — required for licensing, foster care, and many employers — must be submitted through an approved vendor.
