You and your spouse agree on the terms, and those terms are written up and carried through to judgment.

The same, where real property or retirement accounts are being divided.

One or a few agreed terms written down and signed — a date of separation, who pays a particular bill, use of a vehicle, a temporary living arrangement. Nothing is filed with a court.

Several temporary arrangements documented together while the bigger issues wait — housing, household expenses, insurance, support arrangements, children's expenses, vehicles, debts. Nothing is filed with a court.

Your agreed terms prepared for both signatures and submitted to the judge to be signed as a court order in an open case. Issues you are not ready to resolve can be expressly left for later.

You both agree that a disputed issue should be decided first, even though you may not agree on the outcome of that issue.
