The Court finds that the parties have signed and filed a divorce agreement that makes adequate and 
sufficient provision for the equitable settlement of property rights between them and fairly apportions their 
debt (an equitable division). 
 
That Agreement is now filed with and made part of this Order.   The spouses swear they have no children 
together who are under 18, in high school or disabled.   Children together means children they had 
together, born before the marriage, AND  any and all children born during the marriage or adopted. 
Based on the parties’ Divorce Agreement , their Request for Divorce, and the entire record for this case, 
the Court finds good cause to make this Final Divorce Order .
