As long as the deal is good for you and it meets your needs and is as good as you can get and is fair, yes, it is very good to have a deal, however the deal shoudl be signed as a stipualtion and offered to the court to be made an order, that protect you in case he doesn't comply. Hope that helps.

You will have to hire an attorney, not ask on Avvo. I am not your attorney and am not creating an attorney-client relationship by this post. I am therefore giving only general advice. This advice may not apply to you or your situation; may not take account of all possibilities, and may not match the advice I would give to a client. DO NOT rely on this advice or any other advice on Avvo to make your legal decisions. If you want an answer to a legal question you should retain an attorney who is licensed in your state. less
