No. If both parties agree to all of the issues such as the property division and who will be the primary conservator of the children and child support, then you can submit an agreed final order to the judge for their signature. One party must still do a “prove up” of the final order in front of a judge, however. Mediation is another option if the parties do not agree on all of the issues. At mediation, both parties attend with their attorneys and try to settle all of the contested issues through a third, unbiased party.
