How can I make an agreement legally binding?

enable javascript

If you have come to an agreement about financial matters either through mediation or negotiation, you can apply to the court to have the agreement made into a Consent Order.

The court will look at details of both of your income and assets and if they consider the agreement you have made to be fair and reasonable, they will make it into an order. This means that the agreement you have come to can be enforced by the court.

You will need to get advice from your solicitor before the agreement is drawn up and again before you sign it to make sure you understand all its terms and that it is fair to you and your children.
