At Infinity Legal we can assist with drawing up, negotiating, registering and enforcing Consent Orders in Canberra.
Consent Orders are a less expensive method of ensuring that the agreement that you reach with your former partner is endorsed by the Federal Circuit Court or Family Court of Australia so that any breach of those Orders can be enforced.
As Consent Orders require the consent of all parties involved, these Orders are preferable to a Binding Financial Agreement as they are more difficult to set aside down the track if one of the parties becomes disenchanted with the arrangements.
It is important to understand that, despite having Consent Orders in place, if there is a material change in circumstances in relation to the care of the children of the relationship, the Orders can be set aside, however this is only done when it is clear to the Court that new Orders need to be made to deal with the change in circumstances of the children.
