Neither party was present for the proceedings - lasting a matter of seconds - before District Judge Michael Segal at the High Court's family division.
The couple were married in May 2007 in Miami.
Fielder-Civil was granted the decree nisi from the singer on the grounds of adultery.
In a document Fielder-Civil is asked: "State briefly your reasons for saying that the respondent has committed the adultery alleged."
He answered: "The respondent confessed the adultery to me in April 2008."
He says that since April 2008 he and Winehouse had not lived in the same household.
In a separate divorce document, Winehouse is asked: "Do you admit the adultery alleged in the petition?" Winehouse answers: "Yes."
She also states that she did not object to paying the cost of the proceedings and that she received the divorce petition in April this year while in St Lucia.
