[¶ 1] Jeffrey Shannon appealed from a district court divorce judgment and from a post-judgment order. We conclude we do not have jurisdiction, and we dismiss the appeal.
I
[¶ 2] Jeffrey and Darcie Shannon were married in 1984 and had two children. Darcie Shannon sued Jeffrey Shannon for divorce in May 2009, and Jeffrey Shannon moved out of the marital home in July
[¶ 3] Jeffrey Shannon was involved in a serious automobile accident in December 2009, and Darcie Shannon was named his temporary guardian. Jeffrey Shannon’s insurer refused coverage of his medical expenses arising from the accident, and Darcie Shannon transferred some of the parties’ property to the parties’ adult child and to Jeffrey Shannon’s brother in an apparent attempt to shield marital assets from medical creditors. At the time of trial, Jeffrey Shannon’s unpaid medical bills totaled approximately $135,000.
[¶ 4] Jeffrey Shannon brought this divorce action against Darcie Shannon in May 2010. At the bеginning of trial, the parties stipulated that the court would reserve ruling on the $135,000 in medical debt until completion of anticipated litigation against Jeffrey Shannon’s insurer and that the court would enter an interlocutory judgment. Following trial, the district court distributed the marital propеrty other than the $135,000 medical debt and ordered Jeffrey Shannon to pay $780 per month in child support, $1,000 per month in rehabilitative spousal support for ten years, and $1,500 of Darcie Shannon’s attorney fees.
[¶ 5] After Jeffrey Shannon appealed from the judgment, Darcie Shannon filed motions in the district court to alter or amend the findings and seeking leave to submit additional evidence. On temporary remаnd from this Court, the district court granted the motions in part and denied them in part, amending certain financial provisions in the judgment. Jeffrey Shannon appealed from the district court’s post-judgment order on the motions.

[¶ 6] Before we consider the merits of an appeal, we must determine whether we have jurisdiction. Holbach v. City of Minot,
[¶ 7] The judgment entered in this case did not adjudicate all claims of the parties, and the court did not certify the judgment as final under Rule 54(b). At the beginning of trial, after the parties agreed that the court would reserve ruling on distribution of the outstanding medical debts until anticipated litigation against Jeffrey Shannon’s insurer was completed, the court asked: “So you intend and you stipulate to the entry of an interlocutory judgment?” Counsel for both parties answered affirmatively. In its memorandum opinion, the district court memorialized the parties’ stipulаtion and expressly noted that its decision was not final:
By stipulation of the parties, the obligation for past medical services provided to Plaintiff in the amount of $134,789.59 is expressly excluded from this opinion,*37 and is expressly reserved by the Court until anticipated litigation of said insurance claim has been concluded. This interlocutory opinion and resulting partial judgment shall be subject to motions to amend tо accomplish the same.
Thus, rather than certifying the judgment as final in accordance with N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(b), the district court unequivocally stated that it was issuing a partial, interlocutory judgment which was subject to change.
[¶ 8] We further note that any attempt to certify this judgment as final under Rule 54(b) would bе rejected. This Court has held that certification under Rule 54(b) of a judgment or order resolving only part of a single claim is improvidently grantеd. See Brummund,
[¶ 9] The same situation is presented here. Thе district court considered and distributed some of the marital property, but expressly reserved consideration of $135,000 of marital debt. In еssence, the court carved out part of the property distribution for resolution at a later date. It would be impossible to dеtermine on appeal whether the partial property division is equitable while ignoring the significant unpaid medical bills. We also nоte that the court found Darcie Shannon had dissipated marital assets by transferring them to the parties’ adult daughter and Jeffrey Shannon’s brоther in an attempt to shield the assets from medical creditors. The court’s consideration of that factor might be affected whеn it reconsiders the property distribution and includes the outstanding medical debts.
[¶ 10] Finally, we note that “[pjroperty distribution and spousal supрort are interrelated and intertwined and must be considered together.” Kosobud v. Kosobud,
[¶ 11] The judgment in this case does nоt adjudicate all claims of all of the parties, and the district court did not certify the judgment as final under N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(b). We conclude the judgment entered is not final and is not appealable.
[¶ 12] Jeffrey Shannon filed a separate notice of appeal from the district сourt’s order on Darcie Shannon’s post-judgment motions. The motions and order involved requested changes to the financial provisiоns of the divorce judgment. The order was. not a final judgment or order fully deciding any claim of the parties and was not separately аppealable under N.D.C.C. § 28-27-02.

[¶ 13] We conclude the judgment and the post-judgment order are not appeal-
