Complete Agreement

Several times I have notarized documents entitled agreement uncontested divorce or change of custody. Besides the usual steps of checking governtment photo id and signing the notary book, I politely inquire on whether they are in agreement. Notarization does not make the document; it provide evidence the parties signed the document. Clearly, if you are not in agreement you need to tell the notary. If legal advice is needed, the notary can direct the person to a lawyer.
