Abstract
Although the “Civil Code” stipulates that there is a 30-day cooling-off period for administrative divorce, the divorce rate in China is still increasing year by year. In many divorce agreements in China, the wrong party will sign “leave with a clean slate” agreements, which will put them in a state of “property disadvantage”, There are several articles discussing the effectiveness of this agreement in both academia and the Internet, but it is easy to draw the conclusion that the agreement is effective when interpreting this agreement from the perspective of practice and theory. Furthermore, in terms of academic research, research means very little, as far as the internet is concerned, such text is just for getting internet traffic.
