Consent Orders

One of the simplest and most efficient ways for couples to finalise the division of their property following separation is by way of a Consent Order.

A Consent Order is a written agreement entered into between parties that is lodged with and approved by the Court, without having to go to Court.

If you are negotiating a property settlement, we can assist by preparing and finalising Consent Orders, negotiating with the other party or their legal representative on your behalf, and ensuring that you receive the best advice on your rights and entitlements in dividing property between the two of you.

The Family Law Act has very strict rules in relation to the division of assets and liabilities including Orders for the division of Superannuation. Our expert team is highly trained in providing that advice and ensuring that an accurate and fair Consent Order is prepared for you.
