Not sure what to choose?
Why you should formalise your agreement:
You may be wondering why it is even necessary if you and your ex are amicable. Well, there are plenty of reasons to document your agreement, and here are some good ones:
- You can save a significant amount of money
If you’re transferring property under your consent orders you will be able to save thousands in stamp duty. Family law transfers are considered exempt transfers in most states and territories.
Having consent orders in place also means that you do not have to go through the court process and can resolve your dispute without incurring the costs of lengthy court proceedings. - For peace of mind
Applying for consent orders will enable you to keep a well-documented, binding and enforceable record of your agreement. Both parties can rest assured knowing that they will be legally protected. - For certainty
Documenting your agreement by way of Family Court Consent Orders brings certainty. The court considers consent orders as your full and final agreement. One party cannot come back after a few years and ask for more super or money or another property. Reaching an agreement and choosing to keep the arrangement informal, on the other hand, will not be considered full and final and your former partner may be tempted to come back for “another bite of the cherry” and any assets you have accumulated in the intervening period could potentially form part of the assets available for division.
What are consent orders:
If you and your ex have reached agreement about financial/property and/or parenting arrangements and want to formalise the agreement to make it binding, you should apply to the Family Court of Australia for consent orders.
Once made, consent orders, have the same legal effect of any orders made by a Judge following a court hearing.
Family Court Consent Orders can be filed any time after separation but should to be filed within 12 months of a divorce or within two years of the end of a de facto relationship if parties wish to seek orders from the court. If you are filing beyond this time frame, you should contact us.
Even though Family Court Consent Orders are submitted to the Court, the process is administrative and you are not required to appear at Court.
