The first approach would include filing the divorce initial paperwork and then serving your spouse. This would allow your spouse to answer before finalizing the agreement in court. The second approach would eliminate the waiting period, as we could have your spouse do not fie an answer, while we draft the stipulated judgment and then file the last package 30 days after service of process. This is less expensive than the first approach.
