Want some advise. I recently applied for a consent order. I went through a solicitor and solicitor submitted it. My ex wife did not go through a solicitor. She said she ask a private solicitor to look at the consent order but it was done privately and they didn't want to put the name of solicitor on the consent order. The Judge sent it back with the following

it is unclear whether the Respondent has obtained independent legal advice

Ex still hasnt seen a solicitor. If she confirms she is happy with the consent order and she has had legal advise without giving a name and happy to proceed without a solicitor will the judge push it back?

She only has to confirm she took legal advice not who from normally...

Following. I've had some legal advice and ex and I have agreed a settlement. His solicitor is drawing it up. I don't really want to incur any more costs so if I provide a signed declaration that I have had minimum 2 hours advice will this be sufficient?

I just had to sign that I had had the opportunity to take advice and understood that they felt I should. They didn't check that I did or did not.
