📌 Can You Be Legally Single Before Your Divorce Is Final?
Yes — through what's called a Status Only Judgment.
⠀
If your divorce is dragging on due to complex issues like property division or long-term support, you may be able to bifurcate the case and terminate your marital status early. This means you’re legally single — and can even remarry — while still resolving other divorce matters.
⠀
It’s a powerful option for people ready to move forward with life while staying protected legally.
