Consent Orders Lawyers in Fremantle & Perth
When you and your former partner have reached an agreement on property settlement or parenting arrangements, it is important to formalise that agreement through Consent Orders. Consent Orders are legally binding orders made by the court, based on agreement between the parties.
Why are Consent Orders Important?
Without Consent Orders, informal agreements are not legally enforceable. Consent Orders provide:
- Legal certainty and protection for both parties
- An enforceable record of agreed arrangements
- Stamp duty exemptions on property transfers
- Ability to split superannuation without additional costs
- A clear record for financial institutions and government agencies
Property Consent Orders
Property Consent Orders can cover the transfer of real estate, superannuation splitting, division of bank accounts and investments, and the payment of debts. The court must be satisfied that the orders are just and equitable before approving them.
Parenting Consent Orders
Parenting Consent Orders formalise arrangements about where children will live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how major decisions will be made. The court must be satisfied that the orders are in the best interests of the children.
