Consent Orders

If you are able to reach agreement with the other party about parenting arrangements or the division of your property/ finance following separation, you can formalise the agreement by way of Consent Orders.

The Consent Orders are filed at Court and once approved by the Court , they are made into Orders. There is no requirement to attend Court and you achieve the certainty and protection of binding Orders in a cost effective manner.

Consent Orders can cover:

Parenting arrangements including who the children live with and the time they spend with the other parent during school term and school holidays, on special occasions including Christmas, Easter, their birthdays and other cultural or religious days of significance.

How property and finances will be divided, and what each of you will retain including real estate, monies in joint bank accounts, motor vehicles, shares, and superannuation:

Consent Orders need to follow legal procedure, therefore expert advice is crucial in reaching an agreement that is reasonable to both parties and adequately reflects their intentions.

Resolving your matter by consent will reduce the stress involved in separation and will finalise your matter quickly, allowing you to move on with your life and focus on other areas of your life . Consent Orders are a practical, inexpensive solution to formalising the parenting arrangements for children and finalising your property/ financial matters.
