A Guide to Financial Consent Orders for Amicable Separations

In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of financial consent orders to help recently separated couples understand how to navigate this aspect of their separation.
Understanding Financial Consent Orders:
Family law property settlements can often involve complex legal procedures and documents. When separated couples reach an agreement about the division of their assets, the Minute of Consent Orders (or financial consent orders) play a crucial role in finalising the financial aspect of a separation. These legally binding agreements document the agreed-upon division of assets, including properties, finances, and even superannuation. They provide clarity and peace of mind to both parties involved. In family law in Australia, agreements can be formalised via an application for consent orders. The application contains the Minute of Consent Orders.

It includes details such as the division of property and financial assets, may also include custody arrangements for children, and any other relevant provisions.
