Dear.

This depends on the method of divorce, whether it was through the judge’s ruling in a case or was done by agreement of the spouses before the family guidance office in the court.

In the first case, the ruling must be documented and an executive formula must be put on it. In the second case, the divorce agreement must be documented.

While a "Decided" status in a Dubai Courts case generally indicates a final ruling, it's crucial to obtain an official divorce decree to officially nullify your marriage contract.

This document serves as legal proof of your divorce and has important implications for various legal matters, such as property division, child custody, and inheritance.

If you need further clarification you may ask.

Hello,

When the case status shows "Decided" in Dubai Courts regarding your divorce, it typically means that a decision has been made on your divorce case.

However, it does not automatically mean that your marriage contract is nullified or that all necessary documents are in place.

After a divorce is granted, you should request an official divorce certificate from the court.

This document is essential for legal and administrative purposes, such as updating your marital status with various authorities.

Yes, you need to obtain the court order which is stamped from the court.
