Consent Orders (with superannuation split)
Formalise your agreed financial settlement, including the division of superannuation.
If you and your former partner have reached an agreement about your financial settlement, including how superannuation is to be divided, we can assist with preparing the documentation required to apply for Financial Consent Orders through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
This service includes the additional preparation and documentation required where a superannuation split forms part of the agreement.

Preparing the Application for Consent Orders.
Preparing the proposed Financial Consent Orders reflecting the agreement reached between you and your former partner.

How does the process work?
Step 1 – Provide your information
After booking, we will provide you with details of the information and documents required to prepare your application. This will include information about the relevant superannuation fund and the proposed superannuation split.
You will need to provide accurate and complete information about your financial circumstances and the agreement reached.
Step 2 – Preparation of documents
We will use the information you provide to prepare the Application for Consent Orders, proposed Financial Consent Orders and the additional documentation required for the superannuation split.
Step 3 – Superannuation fund notification
Where required, the proposed superannuation splitting orders and relevant information must be provided to the superannuation fund trustee to give the trustee an opportunity to consider the proposed orders before the application is submitted to the Court.
We will assist with preparing the relevant notification documentation within the scope of this service. The required notification period must be allowed for before filing.
Step 4 – Review and signing
Once the relevant documents have been prepared and the required process with the superannuation fund has been completed, we will provide the documents electronically for review and signing.
Step 5 – Filing with the Court
Once the documents have been finalised and signed, you are responsible for filing the application and proposed orders with the Court and paying the applicable Court filing fee.
What is not included?
The service fee does not include:
Filing or lodging the documents with the Court.
The Court filing fee.
Negotiating or reaching an agreement with your former partner.

Work outside the agreed scope of the service, including responding to requests from the Court for further information or amendments, or dealing with objections or additional requirements raised by the superannuation fund trustee, unless separately agreed.
Important information
This service is available where both parties have already reached an agreement about their financial settlement, including the proposed superannuation split. It is not a negotiation or dispute resolution service.
Consent Orders are legally binding. You should consider obtaining independent legal advice before signing or submitting your proposed orders.
The Court independently assesses every application. We cannot guarantee that the Court will approve or make the proposed orders. The Court may request further information or changes, or may decide not to make the orders sought.
