In a divorce case in India, a memo refers to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or a settlement agreement that is reached between the parties involved in the divorce. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the divorce settlement and may cover issues such as child custody, property division, alimony, and any other relevant matters that need to be addressed.

The MOU is a legally binding document that is signed by both parties and is submitted to the court for approval. Once the court approves the MOU, it becomes a part of the final divorce decree. The purpose of the MOU is to provide a framework for the divorce settlement and to avoid prolonged litigation and disputes.
It is important to note that the MOU should be drafted with the help of a lawyer, and both parties should carefully review and understand the terms of the agreement before signing it. Any breach of the terms of the MOU can result in legal consequences, so it is essential to ensure that the document is drafted accurately and all parties agree to its terms.
