Already Agreed? Here's How to Make It Official

You've done the hard part. This is about turning that agreement into a proper court order, not renegotiating it.

A lot of people looking into consent orders have already worked out who gets what, or how the kids' time is split, between themselves. What they need next isn't a negotiator - it's someone to turn that agreement into something the court will actually stand behind.

Why "already agreed" changes what you need

Traditional family lawyers are set up for negotiation - back-and-forth letters, separate advice for each side, hourly billing for time spent arguing points that, in your case, are already settled. None of that applies here. There's nothing to negotiate on the platform's behalf, so the process is far simpler: we prepare the documents that reflect what you've agreed, an independent family lawyer in our network checks them over, and it gets filed.

Curious what that process actually looks like end to end? See how consent orders work.

What "agreed" needs to mean for this to fit

You don't need a written agreement already in place, or even every detail nailed down. What matters is that neither of you is expecting to argue over the outcome - if that's genuinely where things stand, this is built for you. If there's still something contested between you, we'll tell you honestly rather than take it on.

Questions from people who've already agreed

We agree on everything - do we still need a lawyer each?
Not in the adversarial sense. Because consent orders are for situations where you've already agreed, there's no negotiation to be had between separate lawyers. What still needs to happen is an independent family lawyer in our network reviewing the finished documents before they're filed, so they're properly prepared.
Can we do this without going back and forth to a law firm?
Yes - that's the point of this service. We prepare the documents from what you tell us you've agreed, a family lawyer reviews them, and you're not paying for correspondence or negotiation you don't need.
What if something changes and we're not fully agreed after all?
That happens sometimes, and it's fine - just tell us honestly where things stand. If there's something genuinely contested, we'll say so and point you to a family lawyer who handles disputes, rather than trying to push it through as if it were agreed.
