An agreed divorce is a divorce between two parties, in which both parties agree to the terms of the divorce without court intervention. Agreed divorces typically take the following steps.

First, the husband and wife get together and agree on how to divide their assets and how to handle child custody issues. Once these issues are resolved, the couple visits a lawyer who drafts a legal agreement, which both parties sign.

Once this document is signed, the lawyer and couple will go to a divorce court, where the judge will ask a standard list of questions and ensure that all aspects of the agreement are in order. With the judge’s approval, the divorce will be finalized.
