Divorce & Consent Order
At what stage is my Consent Order seen by a judge?
Once you are at Decree Nisi stage (of the divorce) the Consent Order can be lodged with the Court for a fee provided that you have both willingly entered in to the agreement, and that both of you have signed it accordingly, and ideally both received independent legal advice.
You may have both undertaken the process of full and frank disclosure at this stage and this is known as voluntary disclosure. You will both need to complete a D81 -Statement of Information Form which will accompany your Consent Order when it is lodged with the Court.
