Elbatti Legal provides expert Consent Orders Lawyers Sydney NSW and Family Law Solicitors Liverpool NSW, assisting clients with formalising agreements reached between parties in relation to parenting arrangements and property settlement after separation. Consent Orders in NSW are legally binding Court orders made by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia when both parties agree on the terms of their settlement, either for financial matters, parenting arrangements, or both.

​

Consent Orders can also be used to vary or discharge existing family law orders where circumstances have changed. Once an application is filed, the Court reviews the proposed orders to ensure that property and financial settlements are just and equitable, and that parenting arrangements are in the best interests of the child in accordance with the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).

​

Strict time limits apply when applying for Consent Orders in Australia. For married couples, applications relating to property must generally be filed within 12 months of a divorce becoming final, and for de facto relationships, within 2 years of separation. If these time limits are exceeded, leave of the Court is required to proceed.
