Divorce usually means that a couple is going to have to come to final agreements about many major issues. They will have to consider and arrange for the distribution of assets, manage debts and deal with property. They will also have to create visitation agreements and custody plans for any children they share. Some states ask that couples to submit formal documents that are called separation agreements or parenting plans, and these will usually illustrate the visitation agreements that they have reached where their children are concerned. Even if they do draft reasonable visitation agreements, it is usually at the judge's discretion to accept or deny these arrangements. Either way; the judge will be scrutinizing each detail of the divorce and where child custody, support and visitation are concerned, they will pay special attention. Any judge knows that it takes special people to divorce and yet to still cooperate in the best interest of a child, and if a judge does not see an agreement as reasonable, they may rework it.
