I am an independent consultant and not able to predict how much I will make per year but have a retirement fund my husband has also verbally stated he does not want to pursue. Last, I have a large six figure student loans debt that I do not want my husband to have any liability for given his financial state.

Dear Anonymous,
In order to complete an uncontested divorce the corrrect forms needs to be completed and filed with the probate and family court in your county. It is the court's job to make sure that the agreement is fair under the circumstances. If you need help with the process, you should find a divorce attorney to help guide you through the process. The attorney will make sure that the forms are correctly completed and the divorce agreement will be approved by the court.
