Consent ORders

Consent Orders without litigation

Consent orders are more time and cost effective for parties rather than commencing Federal Circuit Court and Family Court proceedings.It also give’s parties total control to jointly agree on the distribution of property and the care and responsibility of any children. 

 

Consent orders can be made without initiating proceedings, and are made by agreement by the parties in one document, together with an application. 

Aspire Family Law can draft your consent orders jointly, however one party will need to obtain independent legal advice. 

When making consent orders both parties are required to make full and frank disclosure of finances and circumstances. 

All consent orders must be drafted so they are just and equitable before they will be endorsed by the court.

If Family Court proceedings have already commenced, parties can settle matters through the use of consent orders at any stage. 

Once consent orders are filed and sealed in the Federal Circuit Court and Family Court they become enforceable, parties must comply with the orders and if not, an application can be made by the aggrieved party to may the other party follow the orders.
