Here's info re: divorce records, taken from the LA County Registrar/Recorder site: Divorce Record Information: Record information for divorce filings is available at the Superior Court where the divorce was filed. If the Superior Court location is not known, information can be obtained at the County Courthouse , 111 North Hill Street , Los Angeles , telephone (213) 974-5171 or (213) 974-5192. Divorce Records are transferred to the Archives when storage space at the courthouses becomes limited. The Archives are located at 222 North Hill Street , Los Angeles , telephone (213) 974-1378 or (213) 974-1379 . Some divorce records are available online. For more information see http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org/familylaw/UI/index.aspx. There must be a way for you to request a search of the divorce listings...?
