Ever heard of a bifurcated divorce? Probably not, unless you have had one or know someone who has. My divorce was a bifurcated divorce. Basically, bifurcating your divorce is a way to push the finality of the actual divorce while reserving the settlement of the other issues. This has its pros and cons. One bad thing, though, is that bifurcating may take away your ex's incentive to hurry with the rest of your case. So potentially the settlement of everything else could last quite a while. Plus, I don't think most people understand that it is possible to be divorced and still not have custody and assets finalized. Thus you might get some people who assume you are still married, even though you aren't. Remember, I'm not a lawyer. This is just my understanding from experience.
