When relationships end, reaching an agreement on property division, parenting arrangements, or spousal maintenance is just the first step. Without proper legal documentation, even the most amicable agreements can unravel, leaving you vulnerable and uncertain.

Consent orders are legally binding orders made by the Court that formalise your family law agreements without the need for a contested court hearing. Once approved by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, these orders become enforceable by law, providing certainty and protection for everyone involved.

Whether you've agreed on how to divide assets, arrange parenting time, or handle financial support, consent orders transform your informal agreement into a secure legal document that both parties must follow.

While it might be tempting to handle consent orders yourself, family law is complex and mistakes can be costly. An experienced family lawyer ensures your agreement is:

Comprehensive and clear - covering all necessary details to prevent future disputes

Legally compliant - meeting all requirements under the Family Law Act 1975

Fair and enforceable - protecting your rights while satisfying court standards

We guide you through the entire process, from drafting your agreement to filing the application and liaising with the Court. Our expertise means your application is more likely to be approved the first time, saving you time, stress, and additional costs.

Don't leave your family's future to chance. Even the strongest handshake agreements lack legal weight when circumstances change or disagreements arise.
