A quick definition of final decree:

Final decree is a legal term that means the end of a court case. It's like the final decision that the judge makes after hearing all the facts and arguments from both sides. After the final decree, the only thing left to do is to carry out the decision, like paying money or following certain rules. Depending on the type of case, like a divorce, there may be more things to figure out even after the final decree.

A more thorough explanation:

A final decree, also known as a final judgement, is a legal decision that resolves all issues of fact and law between the parties involved in a case. It is the final ruling that closes an adjudication, leaving only the execution of the decision to be settled.

For example, in a divorce case, a final decree may determine the division of property, child custody, and support payments. Once the final decree is entered, the only thing left to be settled is the execution of the decisions made in the decree, such as the amount of damages to be paid.

Final decrees may vary depending on the area of law. For instance, divorce decrees may have more issues to be determined or may be subject to alteration after the decree is entered.
