How Does Divorce Work?

We had a client recently who wanted to get divorced but they did not want to settle their financial issues. That seems like a very strange request because the entire process of divorce is dividing up all the financial stuff that became combined in the marriage. Untangling these financial issues is the whole point of the divorce so it is not possible to get divorced and leave these issues undone. A divorce means that you are no longer legally and financially together and the divorce court has to make sure that all issues are disclosed and all issues are decided and in writing. You will be grateful to your attorney for settling all the issues in the divorce and not leave any issues hanging.
