Consent Orders

Our philosophy is always to attempt to obtain a speedy resolution for you. We receive a lot of feedback from our clients which reinforces our belief that it is usually advantageous to negotiate a settlement, and to avoid going to Court. When couples are able to reach full agreement about such things as parenting issues or property settlement, their agreement can be recorded in a written document signed by both parties which is then presented to the Family Court of Australia and made into a set of Consent Orders. The beauty of Consent Orders is that the agreement reached by the couple is then binding, and enforceable. Better still, Consent Orders are made without either party actually having to attend Court at any time.

Knowing that Consent Orders are available to record and finalise many legal issues once agreed, does mean that people can negotiate a legal binding agreement all the time understanding they need not proceed to Court.
