Consent orders
A valid consent order is made when both parties reach an agreement in regards to:
- property settlement
- parenting arrangements
If the parties have managed to reach an agreement to make the appropriate arrangements regarding property settlement, and parenting arrangements, an application can be made to the Family Court for the formalisation of the Consent Orders.
It’s important to note, that any valid Consent Orders have the same legal effect as an Order from the Court. Any actions that is considered contrary to formal Orders, will be treated as ‘breaching the order’, and may result in fines or imprisonment.
