call the court to find out.. that type of abbreviation can mean several things.. Most likely you are not divorced though.

If you do not see the entry of a decree of divorce in the online docket, you are not divorced. You can call the court and ask a clerk to check the divorce file and tell you if the decree has been signed. It sounds as if the court may be waiting for you to show that the other party was served with the paperwork.

No you're not divorced. It sounds like a petition was filed and the other party (I don't know which one of you filed) hasn't been served. Therefore, no decree can be entered until such time as the non-filing pa rty has been served. Once that happens either that party has to respond or if he/she doesn't respond, the court can enter a default order and decree of dissolution when the waiting period has passed.

It means the court needs proof that the other side was served with the divorce papers.
