How Much Do Consent Orders Cost?
As well as the costs of taking your instructions, drafting and amending your Orders to submit before the Court, there is a Court filing fee which is currently $170.00.
If you have a clear idea of what you are seeking and you and your former partner are largely in agreement, then the cost of settling your draft orders will be significantly less than if you are unsure of what you want and it is difficult for you and your former partner to see eye to eye.
It stands to reason that if you and your former partner can agree, your orders can be put before a registrar and your orders are proper, just and equitable, then you are likely to spend less on legal fees than if your matter is complex.
At Anumis Legal, we are happy to advise you and work with you to achieve an efficient outcome. Sometimes it takes a little longer for agreement to be reached. Consent orders ensure that your former partner is held to account.

Do You Need Legal Advice About How To Obtain Consent Orders?
If you and your former partner have come to an agreement, then the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia provides a kit for the preparation of consent orders. However, we strongly advise you to seek legal advice before you sign any agreement or contract, so that you can be sure that the consequences of your agreement are the outcomes that you intend.
What Parenting Arrangements Should You Consider When Preparing Your Consent Orders?
You deserve solid experience, knowledge, and the very best legal backing to ensure you achieve your goals.
What Happens If My Ex-Partner Does Not Stick To The Consent Orders?
Contravention of an Order is serious. You will find the penalties for Contravention of a Parenting Order in Division 13A of Part VII of the Family Law Act 1975.
Consent Orders must be complied with. Your former partner will be in contravention of the orders if they intentionally fail to comply with the orders or if they make no reasonable attempt to comply with the orders.
If the Court finds that your former partner has failed to follow the Orders without a reasonable excuse, it may do any of the following: impose a penalty, order your former partner to attend a post separation parenting program, require your former partner to enter into a bond, order your former partner to pay all or some of your legal costs, order your former partner to pay a fine, require your former partner to participate in community service, order your former partner to pay compensation for reasonable expenses lost as a result of their breach, vary the primary order, order your former partner to a sentence of imprisonment.
Do You Also Need Assistance Drafting Your Financial Consent Orders?
When you separate, it is important to come to an agreement with your ex-partner about how your property and financial assets will be divided between you, considering any liabilities, superannuation, loans and your circumstances. Financial Consent Orders will give you certainty and finality in terms of the financial and property aspects of your relationship.
To ensure that your agreement is enforceable and legally binding (as long as there are no Court proceedings on foot) you can formalise your financial agreement by applying for consent orders. The court will consider whether the Financial Orders you are seeking are just and equitable. If you’d like to learn more, check out our page about financial orders of consent today!
