The user should be able to ask settlement-related questions from this page.

Can we settle after summons?

Yes. Settlement can happen at almost any stage, and the system should always keep the settlement tab open.

Do I need Family Advocate approval?

If minor children are involved, the Family Advocate path should be tracked and completed where required.

What makes the matter ready for unopposed set-down?

The settlement, children, pension, and endorsement items must be complete enough to move the dashboard to a simplified path.
