Make your divorce settlement legally binding with a consent order
Our divorce and family law solicitors can help with all matters related to consent orders, including:
- Advising on consent order content
- Drafting and filing a consent order
- Negotiating terms of your consent order
- Varying a consent order
- Enforcement of consent orders
- Clean break consent orders
Most divorcing couples now agree on how their finances will be divided voluntarily with a divorce settlement. Applying for a consent order makes the terms of this agreement binding, avoiding the risk of your spouse changing their mind in future.
Without a consent order, there is the possibility that your ex could make a claim for a share of your assets, property, income or pensions in the future. A consent order records the terms of the financial agreement you have reached with your former spouse and severs the financial ties between you.

Why you need a consent order
A consent order can help to avoid future disputes
Having a consent order makes it less likely that you and your ex will fall out over the terms of your financial settlement in future, helping to minimise the risk of any future court litigation (and, therefore, costs).
A consent order protects you and your estate against any future claims by your ex
Any agreement reached now will be based on the income and assets of the marriage at this point in time. A consent order protects you and your estate against the risk of your spouse attempting to claim a share of any increase in your income, windfalls such as inheritances and even your estate after your death.
A consent order gives you certainty and peace of mind
Making your divorce settlement binding with a consent order creates certainty as to the future and allows both parties to concentrate on more important issues, such as effective parenting.
