You will still need to go to court. Even if your your divorce is uncontested, you will need to have a comprehensive Separation Agreement properly drafted and executed. Since this must meet certain criteria, you will probably need an attorney to assist you. Best of luck.
MUST GO TO COURT if you want this agreement to be binding. You are seeking to modify the judges order and her/she will only enforce what they have ordered.
I recommend that you retain counsel to prepare and file a joint modification. Assuming everything is acceptable tot the court, it should be a relatively short hearing before a judge. Feel free to contact our office if you would like some assistance. 617-357-4898.
