A financial consent order is a legal document that sets out the agreed financial arrangements between divorcing couples. It can cover a range of financial issues, such as property division, pension sharing, maintenance payments, and child support.

 

Pension sharing is an important consideration in divorce, and a consent order can include provisions for dividing pensions between both parties. This ensures that both spouses receive a fair share of any pension assets and can plan for their financial future accordingly.

 

Maintenance payments are also a key aspect of many divorce settlements, and a consent order can specify the amount and duration of payments. This can include regular maintenance payments, as well as lump sum payments.

 

It’s important to note that a consent order is legally binding, and both parties must comply with its terms. If either party fails to comply with the order, the other party can seek legal enforcement.
