Divorce Consent Order Solicitors Manchester

Why Choose Pinnington Law for Divorce Consent Orders?

When you instruct Pinnington Law, you are choosing a family law team that understands how important it is to turn a financial agreement into lasting legal certainty. Divorce can already feel emotionally and practically difficult, and our role is to make the consent order process as straightforward, clear and protective as possible.

We take time to understand what has been agreed and why. A consent order is not simply a formality; it must be drafted carefully, reflect the financial reality of both parties and be capable of approval by the court. We will explain the legal effect of the order in plain English, highlight any risks and ensure you understand what you are signing before anything is submitted.

Our advice is practical and outcome-focused. Where an agreement is suitable, we will help you move matters forward efficiently. Where parts of the agreement may create difficulties, we will explain the issue clearly and help you consider sensible amendments before the order is sent to the court.

You will have direct access to a solicitor who keeps you updated, answers your questions and provides calm, strategic guidance throughout. We also provide clear information about costs from the outset, including the court fee payable when applying for a financial order by consent, which is currently £60 according to HMCTS family court fees guidance.

Above all, our priority is to help you secure a fair, enforceable and lasting financial arrangement so you can move forward with confidence.

Who This Service Is For

Our Divorce Consent Order service is designed for people who have reached, or are close to reaching, financial terms with their former spouse or civil partner and want to make those arrangements legally binding.

You may need our help if you have agreed how to deal with the family home, savings, pensions, debts, maintenance or other assets, but have not yet obtained a court-approved financial order. We regularly assist clients who have reached an understanding directly, through mediation, during solicitor-led negotiations or after divorce proceedings have already begun.

This service may also be suitable if you have limited assets and simply want the reassurance of a clean break, preventing future financial claims where appropriate. Even where there is no property, pension or significant savings to divide, a properly drafted consent order can provide valuable certainty for the future.

We can also advise where the proposed terms are more complex, including arrangements involving pension sharing, business interests, property transfers, lump sum payments or ongoing spousal maintenance. Whatever your circumstances, we will explain your options clearly and help you take the right steps to protect your position.

What Is Form D81?

Form D81 is the Statement of Information for a consent order. It gives the court a summary of each party’s financial position and helps the judge decide whether the proposed financial arrangements are fair. GOV.UK explains that Form D81 is used to help the court assess the financial and property arrangements made between the parties.

The form usually includes information about income, property, savings, debts, pensions and future financial positions after the proposed order is implemented. The court uses this information alongside the draft consent order when deciding whether to approve the agreement.
