A quick definition of divisible divorce:

Divorce is when a court ends a marriage. It means the husband and wife are no longer married. Sometimes, the court also decides things like who gets to take care of the children or who gets to keep the house. There are different types of divorce, like when one person doesn't want the divorce or when both people agree to it. In some places, you have to have a good reason for getting a divorce, but in other places, you don't need a reason at all.

A more thorough explanation:

A divisible divorce is a type of divorce where the marriage is dissolved, but issues related to the divorce, such as child custody, alimony, and visitation, are reserved for a later proceeding. This type of divorce is granted when the court has jurisdiction over the case but lacks personal jurisdiction over the defendant-spouse. The doctrine of divisible divorce was recognized by the Supreme Court in Estin v. Estin and Vanderbilt v. Vanderbilt.

For example, if a couple is getting divorced, but one spouse lives in a different state, the court may grant a divisible divorce to dissolve the marriage, but the issues related to child custody and alimony will be addressed in a later proceeding when the court has personal jurisdiction over the defendant-spouse.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
