In order to qualify for a waiver divorce, the parties must reach an agreement as to all issues involved, such as the division of property and debts. If there are children involved, the parties must also agree to the terms of child custody, visitation, and support. When is a waiver divorce appropriate? A waiver divorce is an option when the parties are communicating well and can agree upon the terms of their divorce in an amicable fashion. It is usually not appropriate in cases that involve a complex marital estate or several complicated issues. If there is even one issue in dispute, a waiver divorce will not be feasible. Can one attorney represent both parties in a waiver divorce? No. An attorney cannot ethically represent both sides to a divorce. The party retaining the attorney would be represented and the other party to the agreement would be proceeding Pro Se, or without an attorney. The attorney would communicate with the party who retained him in order to file the Petition for Dissolution, and to draft the final agreement (Decree of Dissolution of Marriage) and all necessary corresponding documents. The Pro Se party is free to seek independent legal advice if he or she desires. What happens if the other party changes his/her mind and refuses to sign the Decree? In the event the parties are no longer in agreement, the case would then be considered contested and the filing party will have to proceed as such. The attorney-client agreement would then change from a flat fee to hourly billing with a minimum trust account balance required.
