Technically, for an uncontested divorce, the answer would be no. For a divorce based on grounds (abandonment, adultery, etc.) the answer should be yes. However, courts generally want a disposition on all issues at the same time.

The issues must be settled at the time of divorce. http://www.NYCDivorceCenter.com
