Did My Marriage Last For 10 Years?

I was married in October 20, 1973 and the marriage was dissolved on 10/6/1983 but the decree becomes finally effective is 11/06/83. Is that considered 10 years



Hi. Yes. A marriage remains in effect until the divorce becomes final, so it sounds like your marriage lasted for more than 10 years.

Best, Jerry
