YES, it is possible, provided it is done with the consent of the judge. Procedurally, the court renders a General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage that contains a provision "reserving jurisdiction" of the "ancillary issues" of custody and parenting time (and any other issues that are being deferred) to be subsequently adjudicated and resolved by entry of a Supplemental Judgment.
