Questionnaire For Consent Order

Before you begin

We want to get your consent order completed and approved by the court as quickly as possible. The court will only approve your consent order if they have the information from the following questions. Please help us prepare your consent order as quickly as possible by answering the following questions for you and your spouse. This is a fully transparent process, so both parties have visibility of each other declared assets before signing the documents for the court's approval. Even though it's a fully transparent process, we understand that some couples want to complete their own questionnaire. We can provide this service and collate your information before drafting the documents for an additional chargeable service of £95. Email client@easyonlinedivorce.co.uk to arrange this service.

Enter the CETV of the pension you are going to share

If you have multiple pensions, the court prefers you to choose one pension to transfer to avoid unnecessary pension transfer fees. For example, suppose you were planning to transfer a pension sum of £125k, and you had pension A worth £150k and pension B worth £100k. The usual practice would be sharing pension A only, not Pensions A and B. We show this as a percentage in the pension-sharing order: 88.33% of £150k = £125k.

Our consent order services are for couples who have reached a fair agreement. If your agreement isn’t fair and there is a significant imbalance of assets without good reason, the court will likely reject the application and request a statement from you asking why you believe your agreement to be fair. If you present an unfair agreement and insist that we submitted to the court and they refuses it, we have a statement service where we will prepare your statements and deal with the court on your behalf. The cost should you need this service is £295. Please note that this service does not guarantee the court will approve your consent order. It also does not cover rewriting the consent order should the court require you to amend your agreement.
