David’s answer: If the two of you agree on division of assets & debts, then the type of stipulation you'll need is called a "stipulation of settlement." That said, you should be wary of any attorney promising to "finalize your divorce in 30 days." The Court usually takes 3-4 months alone just to sign-off on the judgment of divorce. Therefore, even if the other paperwork necessary for the divorce is done about as quickly as possible, the conservative estimate for either Westchester or Dutchess is 4-6 months. -- David Bliven (www.blivenlaw.net)
