The consent order is the single most critical document in your divorce — it makes your financial settlement legally binding and prevents future claims. Yet many people rush through the process, unaware that a poorly drafted order can leave them vulnerable for life. This book demystifies every step, from gathering full financial disclosure to understanding pension sharing, property options, spousal maintenance, and the clean break principle. Written specifically for those divorcing after fifty, it addresses the complexities of pensions, retirement planning, and the family home with clarity and compassion. You will learn how to work with your solicitor, what the judge looks for when approving an order, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Whether you are just beginning negotiations or have a draft in hand, this guide gives you the knowledge and confidence to secure a fair, enforceable outcome. Part of The Later-Life Divorce Library.
