Stipulation
A stipulation is a formal agreement between the spouses (or their attorneys) on one or more issues in a Florida divorce, which is then presented to the court. Couples often stipulate to facts, deadlines, or terms like property division or a parenting plan, which can speed up the case and reduce conflict. In our uncontested divorces, spouses essentially stipulate to all terms, which is what allows the case to resolve without a trial.

Legal Definition
A stipulation is a voluntary, binding agreement between parties to a legal proceeding regarding facts, procedure, or the resolution of issues, which once accepted by the court becomes enforceable as part of the record.
Example
The spouses filed a written stipulation agreeing on the value of the marital home, so the judge did not need to decide it.
