Re: Am I truly divorce

I don't know based on the information you provided.

The Judge needs to sign and date the Final Decree of Divorce.

There is another paragraph (usually on page 2 or 3 of the Final Decree) that states that "IT IS ORDERED AND DECREED that Petitioner and Respondent are divorced and that the marriage between them is dissolved."

If you don't have that paragraph, you are still married.

If you need a personal consultation, please contact me.
