I applied to divorce my husband a few months ago. I've been doing it all myself as I couldn't afford a solicitor - and the forms were straightforward as it's a clear cut case of adultery that my husband said he wouldn't contest.
The DN will be pronounced next month. My question is - do I need to get a consent order? Things have been agreed "amicably" so far, but I don't want to find things get difficult in the future (when he finally realises that I'm not going to change my mind).
We have children. He pays some child maintenance - but he did try to refuse to pay it a few months ago when he failed to persuade me into delaying divorce proceedings (which has made me a little wary).
I don't really understand consent orders - they seem to make my head go fuzzy whenever I google them!
I'd be very grateful for any advice...
What is a consent order (in easy terms!)? Do I need one? How much will it cost to get one (approx)?
Thank you in advance
