Questions & Answers

What is the difference between a "divorce decree", "decree of dissolution," and a "dissolution judgment”?

There is no difference. A "divorce decree", "decree of dissolution," "a decree of dissolution of marriage," a "dissolution judgment," and a "dissolution order" are all names for the court document that contains the final order of your divorce. The name of the legal document that finalizes your divorce just depends on your local rules. "Dissolution" means "annulment or termination of a formal or legal bond, tie, or contract"; in this case, your marriage is the legal contract. Also please keep in mind that "divorce” and "dissolution” is essentially the same exact thing.
