Legal advice on financial agreements in divorce

Divorce Consent Order

If you have gone through a divorce, you will need a Court order (consent order) to make your financial agreement legally binding.

If you have already exchanged full financial information and reached an agreement with your ex-spouse, we can prepare the document for you and help you obtain the order.
