A divorce decree is not final until the the decree has been placed on the court record and signed off by the judge, usually within the same day. When you say move anyone in the home, are you speaking on children? Not certain of all of the facts in your divorce, but if a settlement agreement was reached pertaining to who will stay in the home, and who will have possession of the home, the other party should not be able to make those decisions until approved and ordered by the court.
