I live in Canada. In my province, from what my L told me, without both sides having representation whatever agreement reached would likely require follow up and/or appearance before the judge. It is technically doable sans lawyers, although quite a minefield.
My agreement for example would never have been signed off by the judge without our lawyers and her L’s extra paperwork/waiver ensuring W knew what she was doing and was in his opinion capable of legal decision making.
Just my info from my locale.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
