Consent Orders Sutherland Shire
If you and your former partner reach an agreement about property or parenting, Consent Orders can be the safest way to make it legally binding. At Wallen Family Law, we guide clients across the Sutherland Shire through this process with fixed-fee certainty.
What are Consent Orders?
Consent Orders are Court-approved agreements. You don’t need to attend Court — the paperwork is lodged and approved by a Registrar. Once made, the Orders are legally binding and enforceable.
Parenting Consent Orders can cover:
Where children live and how they spend time with each parent,
Communication (calls, video, messages),
School holidays and special occasions,
Decision-making for schooling, health, or religion.
These Orders give children security and reduce conflict between parents.
