Bifurcated Divorce Law and Legal Definition
A bifurcated divorce is one in which the marriage between spouses is terminated, but other issues, such as the division of property, alimony, child support or custody arrangements, are left to be determined at a later date or at trial. It is often used when one of the spouses wishes to remarry, but resolve other issues in the future. It is also referred to as a divisible divorce.
