Common confusion points
Confusing 'Decree' with 'Judgment': The Decree is the formal order resulting from the judgment, which this form confirms via consent.
Not knowing who signs: Both the debtor (payer) and the creditor (receiver) must sign to agree to the terms.
Mixing up instalment frequency: Ensure you specify if payments are weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Assuming it's automatic: Filing the form does not mean payment starts immediately; you must initiate the first payment according to the agreed dates.
