Frequently asked
A Final Judgment of Divorce (also known as a Divorce Decree) is the court’s official order terminating a marriage. It confirms that the divorce process is complete and outlines the final decisions regarding assets, debts, parental responsibilities, and support obligations.
It legally ends the marriage and establishes each party’s post-divorce rights and responsibilities. Without this document, the parties remain legally married. It also provides legal authority to enforce or modify terms such as custody, visitation, or support.
It is issued after all legal requirements have been met, such as settlement approval, court hearings, and the expiration of any waiting periods. In uncontested divorces, it can often be entered once both spouses agree on all terms.
It should list the parties’ names, confirm the dissolution of marriage, and detail final determinations regarding property division, child custody, child support, spousal support, debt responsibility, and restoration of prior names (if applicable).
The presiding judge signs and enters the judgment after reviewing the terms or hearing the case. Both parties and their attorneys may also be required to sign if they have entered into a settlement agreement.
