If your agreement is not legally binding, a court cannot enforce it if there are any issues later. A consent order is a legal document that confirms your agreement. It can also include arrangements for maintenance payments , including child maintenance.
It is usually more straightforward to divide money and property before you apply for the final legal document to end the relationship. You can divide money and property after your divorce is finalised or civil partnership has ended. One of you also needs to fill in a notice of an application for a financial order. Keep your own copies. You can get support or counselling to help you through the divorce process.

You need to apply for a 'decree absolute' to finalise your divorce. You'll have to wait 6 weeks and 1 day from the date of your decree nisi.

At this stage you can ask for changes to be made or enter into negotiations to reach an agreement.
A judge will only approve your consent order if they think it is fair to both parties. If they do not think it is fair, they can ask that it be changed and resubmitted. Once the consent order is approved and sealed by a Judge it is legally binding and cannot normally be altered or varied in any way. However, there are examples of where it is preferable to both parties to do something different to what was agreed in the consent order.
For example, your consent order says that you will sell the family home but decide instead to transfer it from joint names to one of the parties or you decide to pay a lump sum instead of ongoing maintenance payments.
In cases like this you will need to consider the content of the original consent order and may need to have the consent order re-drawn and resubmitted to the court for approval.
Without a consent order your ex can change their mind about your financial agreement at any time even if you have already put it into effect. If your consent order does not include a clean break, if you win the lottery, receive an inheritance, or simply get a better job and start earning more your ex-spouse might be able to claim a share of your newfound wealth. Once drafted, approved and signed by both parties the consent order is submitted to the Court for approval.
The procedure is very straightforward and does not involve either party attending court in most circumstances. The Court may ask a few questions before the Order is approved but these can be dealt with simply by letter. If one of the parties fails to carry out the obligations set out in the consent order this is a breach of the order. The other party can ask the court to have the consent order enforced. If the court agrees that there has been a breach the person in breach will be required to meet the terms of the order and cover the costs involved in bringing the case to court.
