Legal Question in Family Law in California

The attorney gave me this info: "Look your case up at www.occourts.org to get information on the court date" but I live in San Diego County not Orange County. Is there an equivalent?

The San Diego court web site will not give you much information other than the case number, when it was filed and the court it was filed in. You may need to go to the courthouse.

You can get online docket information now through the web address that Mr. Boice stated. If you have the case number, you should be able to get an index listing of what was filed and when. You just won't be able to view the documents online.

You have been given good information, however I want to add that just because you live in San Diego county doesn't mean your case is there. For many reasons a case can be filed against someone in a county other than where they live, for example where an automobile accident occurred or where a contract was signed, which may well not be the county where the person lives. Since you are asking under Family Law, if you were divorced in Orange County and there is a hearing for some modification, such as a child support adjustment, you would still be in OC courts. Also, if you separated and your spouse moved to OC and lived there for at least four months, they can then file for divorce in that county instead of where you live or where you lived together. So you may well have your case in Orange County.
