A divorce decree is a legal declaration that a marriage has been finished. It comes in two stages - a decree nisi which is the provisional one and then the absolute one six weeks later.

No. A divorce decree is permanent. In some jurisdictions there is a waiting period before the decree will become absolute. If the couple decides to get back together during that period they can notify the court and the divorce decree will become extinguished. Once the waiting period has passed and there has been no such action the decree is absolute and and the terms and provisions in the decree are final and binding forever unless modified by the court.
A divorce is final when the judge signs the final divorce decree. Most of the time the clerk gets the filing done on the same day but if not, it is final the second the judge signs the documents.
