final divorce decree
The "final decree of divorce" or "final divorce decree" is the name of the decision by the court that dissolves the marriage in the United States (cf. this example: http://www.lsnv.org/FIN_6_DEC.pdf AND http://www.boe.ca.gov/legal/pdf/73-sbe-046.pdf).
The "decree nisi" mentioned by Charlie is called an "interlocutory decree of divorce" in the United States, pronounces the divorce but does not dissolve the marriage (cf. http://www.sharingpensions.co.uk/marbreak.htm#text1 AND the second link provided above, which mentions both).

Note - I'm only talking about the UK here:
See the following site:
http://www.bpcollins.co.uk/content/view/29/54/
it explains everything.
Well, it does for England and Wales. I saw a couple of other sites that said that the decree nisi soesn't exist in Scotland, which is probably true as Scotland has a different legal system to England and Wales.
I have never heard anyone (British) refer to a "divorce decree". They either talk about "my decree" (& you're supposed to know which one it is!) or they talk specifically about "my decree nisi" or "my decree absolute".
Be aware that other countries may have other terms.

: "a decree nisi" gives a kind of probational period and is finalized by "a decree absolute".

: The "decree nisi" does not effect a "dissolution of marriage" (as far as I know). :-)
