What is a financial consent order?
A financial consent order is a legally binding court order that records the financial agreement reached between divorcing couples. Once approved by a judge, it helps provide financial certainty and can prevent future financial claims.
Do I need a solicitor to obtain a consent order?
No. Many couples choose to reach a financial agreement with professional support outside the traditional solicitor-led process. Once agreement has been reached, a consent order can be drafted and submitted to the Family Court for approval.
Do I need a consent order if we have already agreed everything?
IIn most cases, yes. Reaching an agreement is only part of the process. A consent order can formalise that agreement and provide greater financial protection for both parties.
What if we are close to agreement but need help with a few remaining issues?
The Close to Agreement package is designed for couples who have largely agreed but would benefit from structured support to resolve the remaining points before a consent order is prepared.
What if we have not reached an agreement?
The Not Yet Agreed package provides structured negotiation support, financial disclosure guidance and assistance developing settlement proposals before preparing the final consent order.
What if pensions are involved?
Where pensions form part of the agreement, specific pension sharing provisions may need to be included within the consent order. We can guide you through this process.
How long does the process take?
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of your circumstances and how quickly information is provided. Straightforward matters can often be completed within a few weeks, while more complex cases may take longer.
