Maybe. You can't just look at a docket to determine whether you have a judgment. You have to look at the actual court file. If you have a document called, "Judgment" (form FL-180), that is signed by the judge and entered by the clerk, you are divorced as of the entry date on the Judgment. Just because you had a hearing doesn't mean the paperwork was submitted and entered.

The Family Law Facilitator's office in your county courthouse may be able to help you.
