If you have a Judgment and Notice of Entry of Judgment, date stamped (as entered) that is all you need.

What you have is your "official" notice. When you wake up on the morning of September 21 you will have changed from a married to a single person. Nothing more will come from the court. If you ever need to prove that you were divorced, it is the judgment, not the notice of entry, that you will need. Don't lose it.

The notice of entry of judgment that shows September 19 is what controls. That is the date your divorce will be final.

Those are the two documents that officially end your marriage. As long the documents have a filing stamp to show that they were filed with the court then you can rely on the dates on them for your return to single status.

The Notice of Entry of Judgment is the 'official' document. You can get a certified copy either online, if you have access, or at the Clerk's office.

Those are the official forms. You will not get anything after Sept 19.
