Drafting, and submitting Consent Orders is a very involved process. If accepted by the Court they become binding Court Orders, and it can be challenging to change them. It is therefore crucial that they are correct – and you can live with them – from the outset.

We have extensive working knowledge of Consent Orders. This includes drafting them, working with our clients to ensure they understand all the implications that may arise from specific orders, negotiating with the other side to reach agreement on proposed orders, reviewing consent orders that are proposed by the other side, as well as submitting them to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFOA).

Our lawyers draw from their extensive knowledge of Australian Family law, whilst also leveraging our experience in Commercial Law and litigation. We understand that COnsent Orders are part of a larger picture that encompasses child support, the property settlement, and the general well-being of yourself and family. 

Our team will work with you throughout the entire process, from workshopping what may be the best orders to seek, what is most realistic, and presenting a strong case in Court.

What Are Consent Orders?

Consent orders are legally binding agreements that former spouses can utilise to formalise property distribution, child custody, spousal maintenance, and other arrangements. 

They offer a more efficient and cost-effective solution to resolving these concerns than lengthy court actions. When these agreements are formalised, they become court orders with the full force of the law.

Using Consent Orders provides several advantages. It simplifies the legal process and grants individuals control over the outcomes of their family law matters. This approach expedites issue resolution because it means that an outcome can be reached without having to wait for a Final Hearing to be made by the Court. It can also provide you with more control as to what the Orders are, rather than relying on the discretion of a Judge.
