Depends a bit on the context; it sounds as if perhaps counsel is claiming that "this submission has no basis in the facts of the case", for example... that could put quite a different tenor on things...

  -> Merci, Gilles !
agree  Didier Fourcot: This does properly render the fact that the submissions could have been some day "married", else I should use "indépendante" if there has never been any previous relationship

  -> Merci, Didier ! In that case, I think it's wrong, there is no previous 'marriage', it's like "divorced from reality" = "has no relationship with reality"

demande d'engagement annulée


Explanation:
Quel que soit l'engagement : entre époux ou conjoints de fait. On n'utilisera donc le terme divorce dans ce cas car il n'y a peut-être pas eu mariage.
