Divorce Property Settlement
No two divorces are alike, especially if it includes a divorce property settlement. Every state is different and the laws that pertain in may not be the same in another state.
With a marital settlement the parties in the divorce usually try to reach agreement papers long before involving the judge.

Once the judge makes a judgment, that can become the final decree and can be difficult to change that paper, unless it can be shown one of the parties has not held up their part of the decree.
A Peaceful Divorce
Many divorces can be settled out of court, simply by the participants agreeing to meet with a lawyer and splitting the fee.
In the lawyers office both people can talk things over with the lawyer in turn asking questions, such as who wants what type of property, who might pay any taxes, and if there will be any alimony to be paid to one or the other participants.
Another question the lawyer will ask is if there any children involved, how old are they, and which ones are old enough to decide which parent they want to live with.
If both of you agree a split is necessary and you already know where everything is going, there are papers that can be filled out at the court house that allow both of you make your own rules.
This will save lawyer plus the court costs and other expenses involved in getting a legal marital property settlement. However, this much freedom to dictate your own terms is not allowed in all states or countries.
