If you fail to get a consent order as part of your divorce, your ex can make a financial claim upon you years after the divorce has been finalised?

If you benefit from a lottery win or more likely an inheritance, do you want to share it with your ex-partner?

More than likely, the answer is No.  If you dont trust your ex-partner to spend all their share of the assets and then come back to you pleading poverty, then a consent order will give you that legal protection to prevent this from happening.

A consent order is a legally binding court order which sets out your agreement about your assets. You get it before you finalise your divorce and depending on the level of your assets, it will not cost a lot. If your case is suitable, you can have a ‘clean break’ consent order. This means you have no financial ties with each other in the future, i.e. there are no maintenance payments.

So how do you stop this from happening?

Get a consent-order, it is as simple as that.  The cost will be negligable in comparison to any costs you may incur you ex may claim from you.

There was a case where a husband gave the family home to his ex because he wanted the divorce to be completed quickly. They did not get the divorce settlement approved by the court. Two years later he remarried and had young children with his new wife. All was well and he was happy, until he received a letter from his ex’s solicitor, asking for a large lump sum. A lengthy court battle ensued and he nearly lost his home due to the cost of the proceedings. A consent order would have set out the divorce settlement in clear terms, i.e. that the wife gets the matrimonial home and no other claims are to be made by either party.  This would have prevented his ex from ever making a claim upon him and he would never have heard from her.

I trust my Ex and we don’t have many assets
