Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorce and Family law

I was divored in 1974 in California.

The Default was Filed and Entered May 2 1974 and stamped and signed by the county Clerk of Los Angleles. My Attorney evidently did not file the final decree and have it recorded. My exwife is now trying to get a partial retierment for the retail clerks union and they need proff that we are divorced. I paid the fee to Los Angeles county to find out and they say there is no final judgment. WHAT DO I DO I have been marries for 20 years since the divorce ? How can I get the the FINAL JUDGMENT RECORDED?

Get an attorney to file the final papers. It's a little more difficult than it sounds.

You need to have the judgment entered nuc pro tunc. This will result in the judgment being effective in 1974 and will make your current marriage valid. Most courts require an appearance to explain the reason for entering the judgment nuc pro tunc.
