The agreement in a divorce by mutual consent covers several groups of issues:

1. Issues related to minors

• Which parent will exercise direct care in raising and educating them, and where each child will live;

• The personal contact arrangements for the parent who will not have direct care, as well as the amount of maintenance.

2. Other mandatory issues on which the spouses must agree

• Which of the two will be granted use of the family home;

• Are spouses mutually obligated to provide support to each other?

• What will be the wife's surname after the divorce (will she revert to her maiden name or keep her married name);

• How will the costs of the proceedings be covered?

3. Property relations
The agreement may also settle issues concerning the division of property acquired during the marriage. This entails additional costs, but saves a future division lawsuit, which is usually significantly more expensive.

To choose the most appropriate options for each of these issues, consult an experienced divorce lawyer who will help you draft the best possible agreement.
