Online Consent Order – Cheaper Than Local Solicitors
An online consent order is a court-approved legal document that makes your financial agreement legally binding after divorce. It covers the division of property, pensions, savings, and debts between you and your ex-spouse.
A judge reviews and seals the order, turning your informal financial settlement into an enforceable legal document.
Without a court-approved consent order, financial claims remain open, meaning your ex could claim against your income, property, pension, or any windfall received even years after your divorce is finalised.
Your consent order cannot be sealed by the court until the Conditional Order stage of your divorce has been granted, so it is best to start preparing the paperwork around that time.

What can I include in a Consent Order?
- Savings, investments and lump sums
- Property sales or transfers, including transfers of equity
- Detailing of any mortgages and other debts
- Child and/or Spousal Maintenance arrangements
- Pensions – offsetting values or keeping your own
- Clean break clause – Protecting you from future claims
If you require pension sharing as part of your financial settlement, you need to use our Solicitor Consent Order Service, as this service does not include a Pension Sharing annex (Form P1).
The financial settlement you have already agreed is recorded on Form D81, and your Financial Consent Order can include a clean break clause to ensure neither of you can make future claims.

Consent Order – FAQs…
Is a consent order necessary if we have no assets?
Yes. Even if you believe you have no assets to divide at the time of divorce, a court-approved consent order is still essential if you want a clean break.
Without a legally binding financial order, either party can bring financial claims in the future — even many years after the divorce is finalised.
This can include claims against future income, pensions, inheritances, compensation awards, property you later purchase, or businesses you go on to build.
A consent order formally closes those financial claims and gives both parties certainty and protection moving forward.
Who is this online consent order service suitable for?
Our online consent order service is suitable for married couples or civil partners who have reached an agreement about how to divide their finances and want that agreement made legally binding by the court.
It is also suitable if you are already divorced but never obtained a financial order and now wish to formally close off future claims.
You must already have agreed on how you will deal with money, property, pensions, or other assets. The agreement can be reached directly between yourselves, through mediation, or with professional guidance.
This service is not available for unmarried couples, as consent orders can only be made within divorce or civil partnership dissolution proceedings.
What is Form D81 & do both parties need to complete it?
Form D81 is a short financial disclosure statement that both you and your ex-spouse must complete, listing your current assets, income, and pension positions so the judge can see the basis of your agreement.
After purchasing our Online Financial Consent Order Service, you will receive login details for our online portal, where you can upload and complete your Form D81 statement, answer the questionnaire, and track the progress of your consent order at any time.
Do I legally need a solicitor to draft a consent order?
There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor. However, the court expects a consent order to be drafted in precise legal terms and supported by the correct financial disclosure documentation.
DIY or template orders are frequently rejected because they lack clarity, technical wording, or a proper explanation of why the agreement is fair.
With Divorce-Online, your consent order is drafted by an experienced family law solicitor who ensures it is structured correctly, clearly worded, and prepared in line with court expectations. This significantly reduces the risk of rejection, delay, or additional court queries.
Is this a low-cost consent order service compared to high street solicitors?
Yes. This is a fixed-fee, low-cost online consent order service designed to provide solicitor-drafted documentation without the high street price tag.
Many high street family solicitors charge between £1,000 and £3,000 or more to draft a financial consent order. With hourly rates commonly ranging from £200 to £300+, costs can increase quickly if revisions, calls, or correspondence are required.
Divorce-Online operates on a transparent fixed-fee basis. Your order is professionally drafted by a family law solicitor and prepared for court approval without hourly billing or escalating legal costs.
You receive the same core outcome — a legally binding financial order approved by a judge — but at a fraction of traditional high street fees.
How long does it take for a consent order to be approved by the court?
A consent order becomes legally binding once approved by a judge, typically after the Conditional Order and before or alongside the Final Order in your divorce.
Once submitted to the court, approval usually takes between 3 and 6 weeks, depending on the court’s workload.
Because Divorce-Online prepares and checks your documentation carefully before submission, this helps reduce avoidable delays caused by missing information or drafting issues.
Can a judge reject a consent order?
Yes. A judge can refuse to approve a consent order if it appears unclear, incomplete, or unfair based on the information provided.
Rejections most commonly occur where orders have been drafted using templates or without proper explanation of how the agreement was reached.
If one party is receiving a larger share of assets, or there is a significant imbalance, the court will expect to see a clear explanation supporting the arrangement.
A professionally drafted order, supported by appropriate financial disclosure and context, significantly reduces the risk of rejection.
