What are you trying to do?

Nothing you select leaves this page. Names, case numbers, dates and documents stay with you.

Start with the court locatorOfficial LA Court route

Find a possible filing location—then verify the actual assignment.

The Los Angeles Superior Court locator can suggest a filing courthouse from a city or ZIP code. For an existing case, your filed papers, hearing notice and current court record are stronger sources.

What this does not prove

A locator result does not prove that an existing case is assigned to that courthouse or department.

The status ladder

Use each source for the fact it can actually support.

Los Angeles has 12 family-law courthouses. A general locator can point you in the right direction, but it cannot replace the actual case record.
