Consent Orders

Legally Finalise Your Agreement with Confidence

When you’ve reached an agreement on parenting or property matters, the final step is to make it legally binding without the drama, delay, or cost of going to court.

That’s where Consent Orders come in.

At Assent, we guide you through the process to turn your agreement into formal court orders, the same legal document as if a judge made the decision, minus the courtroom stress. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your agreement is enforceable and legally recognised under the Family Law Act 1975, while keeping the cooperative spirit you built through mediation.

Quick Questionnaire

What Are Consent Orders?

Consent Orders are written agreements that have been approved by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. They can cover:

  • Parenting arrangements - where children live, time spent with each parent, school holidays, decision-making, and communication.

  • Property and financial settlements - division of assets, debts, superannuation splits, and future financial responsibilities.

Once approved, the Court seals the orders, making them legally binding and enforceable, just like any other court order.

Our process also includes consent order preparation by a qualified family lawyer, ensuring your mediated agreements are thoroughly reviewed and correctly formatted to meet all legal requirements before submission.

Why Choose Consent Orders?

  • Legally binding protection - ensures both parties follow through with what’s agreed.

  • Faster and cost-effective - no court hearings, no waiting months for a judgment.

  • Flexible and fair - you control the outcome, not a judge.

  • Peace of mind - everything is finalised properly, with clear obligations for both sides.

Don’t risk your peace of mind or future - ensure your agreements are formalised correctly, legally sound, enforceable, and fully compliant with Australian family law.
