How to get a consent order online
Ending your marriage or civil partnership is one legal process and ending your financial ties is a completely different legal process. The process of severing your financial ties is called a consent order or financial order. This blog will explain how to get a consent order online.
Different types of consent order:
A consent order does two things:
- Legalises the financial arrangements that you’ve made
- Ends the possibility of claims against each other in the future
There are two different types of consent order (or financial order):
Consent order
If you need to detail any arrangements or transfers then a full consent order is the best option. This includes things like child maintenance, transfer of property, lump sum transfers and pension sharing.
Clean break consent order
If you have already split your finances or have no finances to split then a clean break consent order will be sufficient. A clean break consent order will end your financial relationship and stop the possibility of claims in the future.
Do you need a solicitor to write or check your consent order?
No you don't, you just need someone with legal experience. Solicitors can drive up the cost of divorce, as they charge an hourly rate, so it's worth seeing what other professionals you could work with instead, like amicable's divorce specialists.

Answer a few questions to find out which one of our services is right for you.
Around 22% of couples who live together aren’t married or in a civil partnership. Many people think they automatically gain rights to their partner's property and belongings if they live together for a long time. However, in reality, if they break up or if one partner dies, couples who aren't married or in a civil partnership don’t have the same rights or protections as married couples unless they have legal arrangements like a will.
