Consent Order Financial Check (UK)

What is this?

A consent-order financial review usually looks at the proposed order, the parties' financial background, any disclosure exchanged, and whether the settlement terms are being put before the court in a coherent form. The practical goal is to ensure that the order wording and financial narrative fit one another.

Relevant law often includes family-procedure rules, matrimonial-finance principles, and the financial-disclosure context in which the order is being presented.

Key legal requirements

• the parties, procedural stage, and settlement terms should be stated clearly and consistently
• the draft order should align with the agreed capital, income, pension, property, and clean-break position
• any statement of information, disclosure, or supporting financial papers should support the fairness narrative being advanced
• implementation steps, timing, and tax or mortgage assumptions should be workable in practice

Why this matters

Even agreed financial settlements can become difficult if the order wording and the underlying financial assumptions do not line up.
