Understanding Consent Orders

Consent Orders are crucial legal agreements that formalise the terms of separation or divorce, particularly regarding parenting and property matters. They play a pivotal role in ensuring that there is a clear, enforceable understanding between parties post-separation.

Parenting Orders: These orders encompass vital arrangements for children, detailing aspects such as whom the children will live with, visitation schedules with the other parent, and allocation of parental responsibilities. They cover day-to-day care and significant decisions about the child’s upbringing, including their education, healthcare, religious upbringing, and extracurricular activities.

Property Orders: Property orders are concerned with the division of assets and liabilities between parties. This includes the distribution of property, superannuation, financial resources, vehicles, shares, and any debts. These orders clearly define what each party will retain, ensuring a fair and equitable division of assets accumulated during the relationship.

Consent Orders provide a structured and legally binding framework to move forward, offering peace of mind and clarity for all involved parties.
