Consent Order

A Consent Order is a legal document that is issued by the court to approve and enforce an agreement reached by the parties in a divorce case. A consent order can cover any issue related to the divorce, such as property division, alimony, child custody, or child support, and represents a voluntary settlement between the parties. The terms of the consent order are typically negotiated by the parties and their attorneys, and then submitted to the court for approval. Once the consent order is entered by the court, it becomes a binding and enforceable court order that must be followed by both parties. A consent order can be an effective way to resolve a divorce case without the need for a trial, and can provide a measure of certainty and finality for the parties. In some cases, a consent order may be modified at a later date if there is a significant change in circumstances, but otherwise, it represents a final resolution of the issues covered by the order.
