Can I get my divorce decree before the other issues – equitable distribution, child support, child custody and alimony have been settled?
Yes, but if you do, you will lose your right to property distribution and alimony. Once a divorce judgment has been made, no claims can be brought forth about these 2 issues. A divorce decree does not affect child custody or child support issues. Parents retain the right to these no matter what their current marital status.
