4.9 Are You Facing Any of These Common Consent Order Concerns?

Is our informal agreement actually legally binding?

A handshake agreement — or even a written one — is not legally enforceable in the same way as a court-approved consent order. If your ex changes their mind, you may have very limited legal recourse without a properly formalised order in place.

What happens if my ex stops following the arrangement?

Without a consent order, enforcing an agreement that breaks down is extremely difficult and expensive. A properly made consent order gives you the ability to go back to court and enforce the terms if the other party fails to comply.

Do I need to go to court to get a consent order?

In most cases, no. Consent orders are typically made without a hearing — the parties prepare and file the necessary documents, and the court considers and approves them on the papers. We manage the entire process on your behalf.

Can a consent order cover both children and finances?

Yes. Consent orders can address parenting arrangements, property division, superannuation splitting, and spousal maintenance — all in a single, comprehensive document. We make sure every aspect of your separation is properly covered.

How long does the consent order process take?

Once the documents are prepared and filed, the court’s processing time varies but is typically several weeks to a few months. We prepare everything correctly the first time to avoid delays caused by rejected or incomplete applications.

Can consent orders be changed later if circumstances change?

Parenting consent orders can be varied if there has been a significant change in circumstances. Financial consent orders are generally final once made, which is why it is so important to get the terms right before they are approved. We make sure your orders reflect your full situation from the outset.

How We Can Help You Through This Difficult Time

We'll review your existing agreement carefully before anything is formalised. We check that the terms are fair, comprehensive, and likely to be approved by the court — and flag anything that needs to be addressed before we proceed.

We'll prepare all documentation correctly and completely. Court applications for consent orders must meet specific requirements — we make sure everything is in order the first time to avoid rejection or delay.

We'll make sure your orders cover every relevant aspect of your separation. From parenting time and decision-making to property, superannuation, and ongoing financial support, we ensure nothing is left unresolved.

We'll explain what your consent orders actually mean in practice. Many people sign orders without fully understanding the obligations they create. We make sure you know exactly what you are agreeing to before anything is filed.

We'll advise you if the terms of the agreement are not in your best interests. Our job is to protect you — and that means telling you honestly if something in the proposed arrangement needs to be reconsidered before it becomes legally binding.

We'll handle the filing and court process on your behalf. You won't need to attend court in most cases — we manage the entire submission process and keep you informed of progress at every stage.

We'll advise on varying existing orders if circumstances have changed. If parenting or financial arrangements need to be updated, we explain your options and prepare the necessary variation documents efficiently.

We'll give you certainty so you can move forward with confidence. Once your consent orders are approved, you'll have a legally enforceable document that protects both parties and closes this chapter properly.

We'll guide you through the process step by step. Consent matters can feel overwhelming, but you'll always know what's happening, what comes next, and what your options are at every stage.
