“Giving the get before the affairs are settled is foolish. Most batei din will not stand for it. “

I know lots of divorced couples where the get was given quickly and properly, long before the financial and custody issues were settled. As I pointed out earlier, if the husband really doesn’t want to be married any more, it is a mitzvah for him to give a get, and if the wife really doesn’t want to be married any more, it is a mitzvah for her to accept the get. A truly religious Jew will always rush to fulfill mitzvot.
