76.3. At any time, including after a settlement conference, the parties to the proceedings may submit a draft agreement or a settlement to the tribunal or to the judge who presided over the settlement conference.
The draft agreement or settlement submitted under the first paragraph may have been reached with only one of the parents where the other parent is unable to express their will, cannot be found despite serious efforts to locate them, or where they, having not, in fact, assumed responsibility for the care, maintenance and education of the child, abstain from becoming involved owing to indifference.
The tribunal may order the parties to put any draft agreement or settlement in writing and to file it.
