The Family Court of Australia’s Application for Consent Orders Kit information pages have been updated as a result of the Civil Law and Justice Legislation Amendment Act 2018. References to the terms ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ have also been amended to ‘party to a marriage’ and/or ‘party to a de-facto relationship’. The Application for Consent Orders Kit is a useful tool where parties have reached agreement and are wanting to apply to the Court for Orders about the care, welfare and development of their children &/or for Orders about the division of property or maintenance for a spouse or former spouse.
