A Decree of Dissolution is the last form filed with the Court. It is signed by the judge and states that the marriage between the two parties has officially been dissolved.
A divorce decree is a legal document issued by the court that finalizes a divorce and outlines the terms and conditions of the dissolution.
A divorce decree is important for a mortgage because it may contain information regarding property division, debt obligations, and spousal support, which can impact the ability to obtain a mortgage.

A divorce decree may specify how jointly owned property will be divided, such as the marital home, real estate, vehicles, or other assets.
The divorce decree can impact your mortgage eligibility if it assigns certain debts or liabilities to you, affects your credit score, or if spousal/child support payments are mandated and impact your debt-to-income ratio.

Yes, most lenders will require a copy of the divorce decree to verify the terms of the divorce, particularly if it impacts your financial obligations or ownership of property.

If your ex-spouse refuses to comply with the divorce decree, it may be necessary to consult with your attorney and potentially take legal action to enforce the terms outlined in the decree.
No, removing your ex-spouse's name from the mortgage usually requires a court order, unless you can reach a separate agreement with your lender.
