My spouse and I are in agreement on the division of our property and support. Do we have to go to court for any reason?
A: You will not have to go to court to litigate the property division and support issues if you have a written agreement. Your agreement would normally be "ratified, affirmed, and incorporated into a final order of divorce prepared by your attorney or the opposing attorney.
You will still need to present evidence to the court that demonstrates that a grounds of divorce exists. In some jurisdictions the evidence taken in support of an uncontested divorce can be taken by deposition. Some jurisdictions provide for that evidence to be taken in brief "ore tenus" hearings before the Judge.
