A dissolution decree is another name for the final decree of dissolution of marriage commonly called a decree or a consent decree. It is the binding Arizona court order that ends the marriage and sets the terms for property division, debt allocation, spousal maintenance, legal decision making, parenting time, child support, attorney fees, and any other issues the court resolved.

The decree should be clear enough that the parties, their employers, financial institutions, retirement plan administrators, schools, and future courts can understand what is required without ambiguity.
