Your divorce is final when the judge signs the final order. It sounds like you have a Marriage Settlement Agreement and have a date for a final hearing. At that hearing, the Judge should sign the Final Judgment assuming there's no problem with it. (If there is he might ask for or prepare a revised version which prolongs the process.) Once the Judge signs the Order you are divorced. At that time you should ask for certified copies as you will need them if you are changing your name and need to contact SS etc or if you need new insurances etc. Just ask for a couple in court. there is a charge for same. Your final judgment is recorded by the court clerk in the county records which makes your divorce a matter of public record. Hope this helps and good luck!
Not until the divorce is final!
yes
If a judge has not signed court documents yet, they are not legally in use yet. Court documents are not legal until all parties and the judge have signed off on them.
You're not divorced until the judge grants the divorce.
No. The judgment would be entered by the court. You can visit the court and request a copy of the judgment of divorce.
You have to file the papers in court, signed by both parties. There will be a court date after the alotted amount of time and the divorce will be granted.
You will need to go back to court.
Generally, the divorce is legal once the decree has been issued.
It does not give the day in the papers I have, It just said that I failed to show up so the court grants motion for default judgment. the court hereby renders judgment for the plaintiff. But I never signed any papers or I would have showed up in court.
nope take it to court if its happened to you or sue
You have to sign the papers == The divorce is not final until it is rendered official (Final Decree) in a court of law.
If your matter was signed by a Judge in court, then you should have received a copy of the order from the court. If not, you can contact the court where the case was heard to request a copy. If you do not have a court order, then you have no proof of custody and only have what is called defacto custody
