Prospective tenant going through divorce

[Bo Johnson]

Hello all,I have a very simple question. There is a prospective tenant (PT)looking to rent a unit. PT mentioned to that he/she is currently going through a divorce that has not been finalized. I AM WELL AWARE THAT IT IS ILLEGAL for a LANDLORD to deny a tenant based on their marital status. Again, PT is the one that voluntarily mentioned that he/she is getting the divorce and he/she also stated that he/she is the co-signer on the soon to be ex wifes/husbands mortgage (which has shown on prospective tenants credit report) but the soon to be ex is the one that currently  pays the mortgage AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY MORTGAGE. Prospective Tenant also mentioned that he /she has two children that are 17 years old.
AGAIN I AM WELL AWARE THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A LANDLORD TO DENY A TENANT BASED ON MARITAL STATUS IN AMERICA.

For those of you who have been divorced, you should know that a judge can obligate you to pay child support, alimony, college tuition, private school tuition, mortgages etc...
IS IT ILLEGAL for a landlord to ask for the finalized divorce agreement to see what potential FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS a tenant is/could be responsible for that would affect his/her ability to pay the rent at a new residence?

AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE SMARTIES....I AM WELL AWARE THAT A LANDLORD CANNOT DENY A TENANT BASED ON MARITAL STATUS AND should HAVE NO CARE IF TENANT IS MARRIED OR NOT.....HOWEVER I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS COULD ARISE FROM THE DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AND IF THOSE OBLIGATIONS WOULD AFFECT PT'S ABILITY TO PAY RENT BASED ON PROSPECTIVE TENANTS CURRENT INCOME. IS THIS LEGAL  FOR LANDLORD TO ASK TO VIEW DIVORCE AGREEMENT ONLY FOR INCOME AND FINANCIAL VERIFICATION/ OBLIGATION PURPOSES.

Sorry for the caps but I want to be clear that the LANDLORD understands that it is ILLEGAL to deny tenants based on marital status. 

Thanks
