What is an agreed divorce?

An agreed divorce happens when the married couple can agree on every aspect of the divorce including who gets what stuff and what the possession (visitation) schedule for the kids will be. They get together and decide all this and then get a lawyer to draft an agreed decree. The husband and wife both sign it. The lawyer and the client go to court one morning and prove up the divorce. The client and lawyer go before a family court judge and the lawyer asks the client a standard list of questions regarding the marriage, the kids and the agreed decree. If all is in order, which it should be, the judge will sign the decree granting the divorce right then and there.
