We want to formalise our parenting arrangements with consent orders. Do we still have to go to court?
-
No. You do not need to go to court if you decide to draft consent orders.
-
You and your ex-partner may decide to use the Family Law Courts Kit to draft your consent orders or you may instruct a lawyer to assist you with this process.
-
Once you have negotiated agreed terms then this can be filed at the court and you can apply for the orders to be approved.
