What is a Consent Order?

Why do I need a consent order?

Consent orders play a crucial role in divorce proceedings. Without a consent order in play, the other party can lay claim to your assets long after the divorce is finalised.

When a couple decides to divorce, it is essential to address issues such as the division of assets, spousal maintenance, and child arrangements. A consent order is a legally binding agreement that outlines the terms of these arrangements, ensuring both parties agree on the outcome and reducing the likelihood of future disputes.

The involvement of McKenzie Matters can be beneficial in drafting a consent order, as we can help in formulating the necessary legal documents and ensuring that all required information is included. McKenzie Matters can help demystify the legal process and provide emotional backing to those going through a difficult period.

Once a consent order has been drafted, it must be submitted to the court for approval. The current court fee for this is £58.

Ultimately, obtaining a consent order is a vital step in finalising a divorce. With the help of McKenzie Matters, individuals can ensure that their rights and interests are protected while moving towards a new chapter in their lives.
