Financial consent order solicitors
Where financial terms have been agreed, it is important that the agreement is recorded properly. A financial consent order can provide certainty, make agreed terms enforceable and, where appropriate, bring future financial claims to an end.
We advise on whether proposed terms are workable, prepare the order and supporting documents, and guide you through the process of submitting the agreement for court approval.
Agreements we can help record
We can prepare and advise on consent orders dealing with:
- Clean break orders and dismissal of future financial claims.
- Transfers or sale of the family home and other property.
- Lump sum payments and payment timetables.
- Pension sharing, pension attachment and pension-related terms.
- Spousal maintenance and term orders.
- Debts, savings, investments and practical implementation provisions.
More than a template exercise
A consent order should be clear, complete and capable of being implemented. Poorly drafted terms can create uncertainty and lead to further disputes later.
We will review the background, explain the effect of the proposed order and ensure the documentation is presented in a way that assists the court in considering approval.
