Online Consent Order
An online consent order is a legal document that confirms the terms agreed for the division of money, assets, and debts.
If you are ending a marriage or civil partnership, there are financial ties that need to be legally severed.
Whilst the Final Order / Decree Absolute marks the official end of the marriage contract, it does not end your financial commitments to one another.
If you have assets including pensions, more than one property, or you believe may be required to pay maintenance, you will need a consent order.
A Consent Order is a legally binding document approved by a judge. It is a safeguard to ensure that all of your financial ties are severed and neither you nor your ex-spouse can make a future claim against the other’s finances, including income, assets or pensions.
The consent order will detail how assets like property, pensions, debts and savings will be divided. Unlike a simple Clean Break Order, it can also include arrangements for maintenance payments for a spouse or for children.
A consent order protects both parties against such claims, providing complete peace of mind.
At Express Divorce, an experienced divorce lawyer will prepare a tailored consent order incorporating the agreement you have reached with your ex-spouse.
Who is an online consent order suitable for?
This is a standalone service for those customers who might have started their own divorce proceedings and now want a legally binding agreement. Alternatively, you may have instructed a lawyer to represent you in divorce proceedings but are now put off by the costs of the solicitor also preparing a consent order and are happy to ‘mix and match.’
Express Divorce can guarantee you will save between £1000.00 and £1500.00 on traditional solicitors’ fees if we draft your agreed Consent Order online.
