Hello,
Would a divorce affect a personal injury suit...alas, the words "it depends" almost always applies to this question. IF the personal injury suit contains a sum of money for lost wages, then "maybe" since those were lost wages that would have been earned (presumably) during the marriage. If the wages are "Future" lost wages, then maybe not since its prospective and you wouldnt be married during that future time (note the Maybe in there). If its strictly for pain/suffering then likely not.
Unfortunately, there is a standard disclaimer I give on this question though...and that is it will always depend on the facts of your case and the particular judge/jurisdiction you're in front of.
If you need help, dont hesitate to call The Civil Law Center, LLC at 504-342-4221 and set up an appointment to speak with an attorney.
