Agreed Divorce » Hope to Agree

A hope-to-agree divorce is used when the parties are not yet close to agreement, but want to start the process in a non-confrontational way. The goal is to move the case toward agreement without escalating conflict or forcing the case into a fully contested posture.

Documents are prepared to clearly reflect what is already agreed upon, while presenting reasonable proposals on the remaining issues. This approach allows the other party to respond to specific terms instead of reacting to a broad or aggressive filing.

Starting with cooperative, well-structured documents can preserve flexibility and keep negotiations focused. In many cases, this approach helps narrow the issues and move the case toward an agreed or nearly agreed resolution.

If you and the other party are already close to final agreement, see Almost Agreed Divorce.

If you are unsure whether this approach fits your situation, call 206-471-1245 to discuss your options.
