If property settlement and/or spousal maintenance issues have not been resolved before the divorce is granted parties must either resolve those matters by obtaining consent orders or signing a Financial Agreement, or issue an application for a property settlement and/or spousal maintenance within one year after the divorce takes effect. If you do not, you will have to obtain the leave of the court before filing such an application.
