Legal Question in Family Law in California

Evidences at bifurcated trial can be used in final trial?

I am going thru divorce proceeding. I have been a pro per, and my wife has an attorney.

During a bifurcated trial for the issue of date of separation, the judge decreed that all sworn declarations submitted previously will be treated as evidences at the bifurcated trial, and the statements in the declarations can be cross examined at the bifurcated trial. Neither side objected, and the sworn declarations were treated as evidences or testimonies.

Can these sworn declarations which were made evidences in the bifurcated trial can be treated as evidences in the final trial of dissolution proceeding?

Also, how do you find an attorney well experienced in property division in dissolution of marriage case?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
