The Decree is the final order of the court legally ending the marriage. Spouses are not “divorced” until the court grants the divorce and the Decree is signed by the judge. The Decree may also contain other orders deciding how the spouses’ property and debts will be divided and what financial support, if any, will be paid by one spouse to the other. If children are involved, the Decree also will provide for custody, parenting time, and child support.

A divorce decree is the final court document one receives when their divorce is finished, finalized, and terminated – if the court does not give you a divorce decree document, then your are still married.
