I am US citizen, and my spouse in here in the US, I plan to file I-130 and I-485 package. I found that I need to provide my piror divorce decrees. I divorced twice. The most recently one I kept the document. But the first divorce decree was lost. Since my first divorce was filed over 20 years ago in California. I cannot remember in which court, as I remember I lived in San Jose at that moment, I thought it was in the court of Santa Clara. Unfortunately, I tried to contact the court in Santa Clara, they cannot found any record of my case. I am being struggle and depress about that...... Can anyone advice me what to do now?? Do I need to give each divorce decree?

Yes, copies of all divorce decrees are required.

Did you use an attorney that may be able to help you? Could you contact your ex for info?

Mine was in Contra Costa county and I can search on their site and see the record and case number.

Alameda County is the Bay Area Oakland Side

Since my financial situation, I cannot hired an attorney to handle our case, but I consultated an attorney for free that he said its required, I asked for his advice and he respond that I need to found it out by myself. He also remind me, I should make prepare everything well before submiting the petition, otherwise, I've got deny at the end. Unfortunately that I have lost contcted with my ex.. I am so frustrated.
