Legal ruling dependent on future events (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

decree nisi

(Other definitions for decree nisi that I've seen before include "Separation agreement" , "Provisional divorce order" , "court order" , "Provisional divorce document" , "Judicial order" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
