At some time after a divorce case is filed, in approximately 80-90% of cases, the parties eventually settle. In order to get record of the agreement on file with the court, the parties are to prepare and sign a document that sets forth the terms of their agreement. This document is usually called a settlement agreement or a stipulation. It is important for all relevant terms to be included in this document, because there's no way for the court to enforce terms that are not there. After the settlement agreement is filed with the court (containing both parties signatures), the court can then proceed to issue the final orders, which consist of Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and a Decree of Divorce.
