Consent Orders.
What happens when my ex-partner and I come to an agreement?
It is always desirable when you and your ex-partner are able to resolve your financial and parenting issues by agreement, at the earliest available opportunity. Not only does this reduce the stress and uncertainty of separation, but you are also able to reduce further costs and avoid the delays of Court proceedings.
If you and your ex-partner have been able to resolve your issues by agreement, the next step is to formalise your agreement in writing. This is done by drafting the necessary settlement documents which might include:
Consent Orders (for both parenting and property matters);
a Binding Financial Agreement; and/or
a Binding Child Support Agreement.
