FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
An Application for Consent Order can be filed any time after separation but should be filed within 12 months of a divorce or 2 years from the breakdown in a de facto relationship.
If you need to file an Application outside of this timeframe, you will need to seek leave of the Court for the orders sought.
No, the Consent Orders will be filed with the Court but you are not required to attend a hearing.
The process becomes easier and more efficient if you and your partner can maintain an amicable relationship and are willing to negotiate.
