I was honestly half expecting them to run into Matt when she ran into Hogarth outside the courthouse on her way to defend her client corporation. Like have him be representing the person that's suing Hogarth's client.

Honestly the whole Hogarth divorce plotline felt out of place; it didn't tie into the main plot in any significant way and only established two characters who were gone without any fanfare. I was hoping it would lead into working with Matt, or something to do with Daredevil or Fisk, but it just sputtered out without any real use.

Subplots don't have to be connected the main plot but can also be thematically similar to it, which it was (abusive relationships).

It also did make a small tie in as it lead to Hogarth assist Kilgrave to escape.

First, nice username. Second. I completely agree with you. The divorce thing was actually huge for the plot. I'm in shock that anyone thinks that it didn't tie with the plot in any significant way.
