Legal Question in Family Law in California
Bifurcation
Some background..neither my ex or mtself ever filed a motion to bifurcate, only a short discussion was held during a settlement conference. 8 days later my ex files the judgement for dissoltuion status only, and the judge signed it. No mention during settlement hearing of an order being made, nor is there any orders on the court minutes. Is this a legal judgement? Are we divorced and able to remarry? (my ex remarried 6 wks later) I need some direction.

Re: Bifurcation
The judgment is valid unless it is challenged and set aside. The court will be reluctant to set aside the judgment dissolving the marriage. The important issue would seem to be that the property issue is still before the court. You may be able to use this to show that he is willing to lie to the court.
