What is a divorce consent order?

A divorce consent order is a legal document that confirms the financial agreement between you and your ex-spouse upon divorce. It can detail how you divide assets such as property, savings, investments, and pensions. It can also include arrangements for child maintenance.

How our divorce solicitors can help you obtain a consent order

Our services include:

  • Taking your instructions on the agreement you have reached
  • Advising you on the implications of obtaining the order
  • Drafting the consent order and financial statement, which the Court requires
  • Sending the document to the Court and sending the final order to you

If you haven’t reached an agreement with your ex-spouse, we can:

  • Disclose your financial details to your spouse and obtain their financial information
  • Negotiate the agreement for you
  • Attend any Court hearing on your behalf

If you would like to meet with one of our experienced family law solicitors to discuss a divorce consent order or a financial settlement, we offer fixed-fee appointment options depending on the level of advice you require.

For each option, one of our specialist divorce experts will meet you and give you a full assessment of your circumstances. The team will explain your legal rights and options and what it may cost to take further legal advice. This is charged at:

  • £500 + VAT – if you are meeting with one of our Partners or Legal Directors
  • £350 + VAT – if you are meeting with one of our Senior Associates, Associates or Legal Executives
  • £250 + VAT – if you are meeting with one of our Paralegals or Trainee Solicitors

Please note that we can only advise on a Legal Aid basis for public law/care proceedings.
