Consent orders are formal and written agreements agreed on by the parties and can address both property/financial consent orders and parenting arrangements, known as Parenting Consent Orders, they are orders that are made to the Family Court of Australia to make binding once the court determines that the orders sought are just and equitable and will bring the financial affairs of the parties to an end.

Unlike Binding Financial Agreements, you do not need to seek independent legal advice when filing the consent orders to the court to make them binding, which can make consent orders difficult to overturn.
