Children / Parenting Consent Orders

Understanding Parenting Consent Orders

Parenting Consent Orders can cover:

Where the child will live.
How much time the child will spend with each parent.
Decision-making responsibilities for education, health, and other important matters.
Arrangements for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions.

Once approved, Consent Orders have the same legal effect as an order made by a judge after a court hearing—without the cost, delay, or stress of going to trial.

A Parenting Consent Order is a formal agreement approved by the Family Court that sets out the responsibilities and arrangements for children after separation.
