Judgment Divorce Nisi is the temporary divorce decree. It contains the terms but is not yet final. It allows either party time to file an appeal before the parties are divorced. Once they are no longer married, the litigation is over and they can't appeal the divorce. The Decree absolute issues 90 days after decree nisi or later if an appeal is filed. The parties are finally and legally divorced when a decree absolute issues.
