Consent Orders
If you can both agree on how to divide your assets, you can ask the Federal Magistrates Court to make Orders by Consent.
This does not require either of you to attend Court but merely to submit your agreement to the Court for the Court's approval.However, with Consent Orders, the Family Court or Federal Magistrates Court are obliged to take into account a number of matters to determine whether the proposed Orders are "just and equitable". It is not simply a "rubber stamping" exercise. They must review all of your financial details in light of your agreement, to decide if the division is just and equitable.
