At Coastal Family Law, our experienced team helps clients navigate Consent Orders efficiently, ensuring agreements are legally binding and fair.
What Are Consent Orders?
Consent Orders are court-approved agreements that make arrangements reached by both parties legally enforceable. They can cover:
- Property division
- Spousal maintenance
- Parenting arrangements
Benefits of Consent Orders
- Cost-effective – Avoid lengthy court hearings and reduce legal fees.
- Time-saving – Resolve issues faster than traditional court processes.
- Less stressful – Minimise emotional strain with a cooperative approach.
- Flexible – Tailored to your family’s unique needs.
- Legally binding – Ensure both parties comply with the agreement.
How to Obtain Consent Orders
Draft the Orders – Typically done with the help of a lawyer to ensure legality, clarity on the terms and enforceability.
File a Form 11 Application – Submit the application online to the Family Court via the eCourts Portal.
Enforcing and Modifying Orders
Once approved, parties must follow the terms. If someone breaches the orders, the other party can apply for enforcement or seek legal advice. Orders can also be modified if circumstances change significantly.
