Divorce is a legal dissolution of marriage. There are two types of Divorce - Absolute Divorce (which is ultimately what parties in divorce proceeding are seeking) and Limited Divorce. Absolute Divorce is permanent, permits re-marriage and permits future property claims. Not all parties wanting a divorce may be eligible for an Absolute Divorce (because the statutory time period has not yet been met). Therefore, in the meantime, one may apply for a Limited Divorce. Limited Divorce allows parties to 'get in-line' for an Absolute Divorce, legalizes the separation and provides financial support Pendente Lite (pending the final hearing). It is not permanent, does not permit re-marriage and does not settle property claims.
Part 2 of this series will be forthcoming.
