    To answer your question: It is not mandatory. However, not having one is insane.
    Agreed. You have a home together, you need an agreement. Get it done, get it writing, split everything right down the middle (including the household contents).

      Equalization

      can't we just request divorce only and just not request equalization? Then we are free to do whatever we want? Or do the courts force equalization even on a joint divorce?

        why the rush??? Do things properly. You two can decide how you want to split your assets the way you BOTH agree to.

        I take it that maybe you want it rushed in order to get married again? That is the only reason I can think of.

          Sure you can but without an agreement even after the divorce she can come back on you and request whatever she wants. I’m not sure what you’re not understanding from the posters here. You are setting yourself up to be screwed. You need an agreement to protect yourself in the future. But hey if you think you can trust this woman you has threatened to go after your inheritance and keep the dog if you don’t do what she says then trust her... why keep posting the same thing over and over again?

            I appreciate everyone’s comments. I think I’ll get in touch with a divorce lawyer and see about getting a separation agreement. I didn’t want to spend the couple thousand but the peace of mind will be worth it down the road. I agree, at this point I’m just being repetitive.
