Consent Orders offer a way to reach agreement on specific property and financial matters and parenting arrangements. The couple can draft and sign consent orders, in mediation or in Court, and they will have the same legal effect as a Court Order made by a Judge following a contested hearing.

Consent Orders are a quick and inexpensive way of resolving the material side of a divorce or separation settlement. To discuss finalising your matter by way of Consent Orders, call us on 02 9018 9408 or send an email to info@mahonylawyers.com.au.

Property Consent Orders can cover:

• Spousal Maintenance;
• Handovers and sales of property, such as houses, land, valuables, vehicles and furniture
• Allocation of superannuation
