Hey, Everyone!


I'm new to this board, but I'm hoping someone can help answer a question for me.


I filed for divorce in California, and on my paperwork, it says that my divorce was final on October 28, 2007.

Well, the paperwork that you should have received is your divorce decree that is singed by the judge, and stamped that it's been entered/filed with the court clerk.

If you're asking if they are going to send you a brand new certificate with a gold star.... probably not :-) but yes, it sounds like you've got the *final document* and that should be all ya need to move forward with the name change, etc.
