Re: Am I truly divorced
You are divorced. (didn't you have an attorney?)That is boilerplate language in most decrees that, in a nutshell, enables a court to maintain jurisdiction so it can fix (clarify) a provision that is unclear, and establishes once and for all that the decree means what it says, and nothing more.
