You want the divorce application handled and you have agreed how money, property, pensions or debts will be dealt with.
This combines the divorce application with a solicitor-drafted financial consent order for agreed settlements.

What is the Divorce and Consent Order Service?
It is an all-in-one online service for people who want the divorce application handled and their financial agreement made legally binding.
The divorce application deals with legally ending the marriage. The consent order deals with the financial agreement, such as property, pensions, savings, debts, maintenance or a clean break.
The divorce application
The application is prepared and submitted online for suitable England and Wales cases.
The financial agreement
You provide details of what has been agreed about money, property, pensions, debts or maintenance.
The consent order
A solicitor drafts the financial consent order so the agreement can be sent to court for approval.
The court approval
A judge reviews the draft order and financial information before deciding whether to approve it.

How long does divorce plus a consent order take?
The divorce has fixed waiting periods. The consent order timing depends on how quickly both people provide financial information, how complex the agreement is and how long the court takes to review the order.
The court cannot approve a consent order before conditional order, so the financial order needs to be planned around the divorce timetable.
Divorce application issued
The court issues the divorce application and the 20-week waiting period starts.
Consent order prepared
The financial agreement, Form D81 information and draft order can be prepared while the divorce process continues.
Conditional order
After the 20-week period, the conditional order stage allows the financial consent order to be considered by the court.
Final order
The final order legally ends the marriage. It is usually sensible to make sure financial order timing is properly considered before final order.
Divorce and consent order FAQs.
Clear answers for people who want to get divorced and make an agreed financial settlement legally binding.
Is this service for England and Wales only?
Yes. This page is about divorce and financial consent orders in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different legal procedures.
Do finances need to be agreed first?
Yes. A consent order records an agreement. If you have not agreed finances, you may need mediation, negotiation or solicitor advice before this service is suitable.
Can the consent order be approved before conditional order?
No. The court cannot approve a consent order before conditional order. The order can be prepared earlier, but approval comes at the correct stage of the divorce.
Does this include the court fees?
No. Court fees are separate. Current court fees include £612 for the divorce application and £60 for an application by consent for a financial order.
What if we have no assets?
You may still want a clean break order to help dismiss future financial claims. A consent order can be useful even when there are no major assets to divide.
Is Divorces.co.uk a law firm?
No. Divorces.co.uk is an information website and is not a law firm. The planned service will need appropriate solicitor support for the consent order drafting and legal parts.
