Pearce DucharmeFamily Law
Pearce DucharmeAfter the parties have hired lawyers and said terrible things about each other in the court documents, there sometimes comes a lull, following all the venting. When the parties decide to resolve matters, lawyers often draw up Minutes of Settlement outlining the terms of resolution. The Minutes can resolve some issues (Partial Minutes of Settlement) or resolve them temporarily (Interim Minutes of Settlement) or resolve everything (Final Minutes of Settlement). Court orders are drawn up, filed with the court and the appropriate orders issued that reflect the Minutes.
