Q: Can we get a divorce without separating the properties? Can we have a mutual agreement of property separation?
A: Usually, you will need to have a property division agreement (or court-ordered property division if you do not have an agreement) in order to finalize a divorce. You may agree to continue to hold properties together after the divorce, but that is often not recommended. You should retain an attorney to help you with this.
