Financial Consent Order

A Consent Order is a legally binding court order that sets out the financial arrangements agreed upon by divorcing or separating couples. It formalizes the division of assets, property, pensions, and any ongoing financial commitments such as spousal maintenance or child maintenance. Once approved by the court, a Consent Order ensures that both parties are legally obligated to adhere to the terms of their financial agreement, providing clarity, certainty, and protection against future financial claims.

Consent Orders are often used to make sure that a “clean break” is achieved, meaning that no future financial claims can be made by either party once the Consent Order is in place. This is particularly important for couples who wish to finalize their financial matters in a fair and amicable manner without the need for further court intervention.
