Divorce Decree

A divorce decree is the court decision that dissolves a marriage. A note confirming that the decision is final is often attached or annotated on the document.

Typical translation use cases

Recognition of a foreign divorce
Remarriage in another country
Updating civil status records and custody matters

Practical considerations

The finality annotation should be translated together with the judgment.
Recognition procedures in some countries require the full judgment rather than a summary certificate.
