Re: can a divorce be finalized before there is a custody and property agreement
You can file a motion to bifurcate (separate) the issue of the status of the marriage from the other
issues. The motions are routinely granted, although here is San Diego County there are several
conditional orders with the bifurcation. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

It is possible to bifurcate the case. That is dissolve the marriage while the other issues are determined at a later time.
