What a consent order does ✍️
If you've reached an agreement on financial matters following a divorce or civil partnership dissolution, you may wonder why a Consent Order is still necessary.
While a divorce legally ends a marriage, it does not automatically prevent future financial claims between former spouses or civil partners. A Consent Order turns your agreement into a court-approved, legally binding arrangement, providing greater certainty and protection for the future.
The court will also consider financial information to ensure the agreement appears fair, making accurate disclosure and careful drafting essential.
