Matrimonial Finances

A consent order is sometimes used for the division of money, property, life insurance, pensions and savings. If any of these financial assets are involved in your divorce, it is advised to process a Consent Order to legally protect you for the future. Our solicitors will assess whether or not your case requires a Consent Order when you originally apply to use our service. This will then be included in the upfront fixed fee for a small additional charge.

If you and your spouse agree to the conditions of separation of the financial assets there will be no need to attend court. The solicitor who is assigned to your case will work with you to come to an agreement regarding your consent order and avoid having to attend a court hearing. In some cases a mutual settlement is just not possible and the case will have to be presented in front of a judge who will assess all the factors to reach a fair and impartial decision.

Consent orders can also be used to outline the plans that you and your spouse have regarding maintenance for your child. If these issues can be agreed upon mutually between you and your spouse, the Consent Order will eliminate the need to have the Child Support Agency involved in your case and make the process easier for you and your children. The court will assess the agreements stated in the consent order to ensure that the arrangements are unprejudiced to both parties.
