So to answer your question as to a final decree being there. The answer is NO it doesnt for things to still happen. Another thing is that if your no longer represented and opposing party has a lawyer your allowed to call them for paperwork and they should have been notified anyway when you dropped council.
My former attorney prepared and signed (including my signature) a notarized consent to terminate legal representation form for the court, for myself, and for the opposing attorney.
I mailed out the form to the opposing attorney in May, 2008. My former attorney told me that he will go to the court house with that form to officially withdraw.
The last thing that I received from the supreme court was a memo from the judge, and that was it. The memo itself included his findings for financials. The case is disposed.
I was told by the county clerks office and family court that in order for me to appeal or to even file a case with family court regarding child support that I need a divorce decree or order prepared by the opposing attorney for my review and signature, then it will have to be given to the Judge assigned to my case for review and signature, then entered.
Please help.
