Consent order/final forms without solicitor?

Ex DH and I got the decree nisi last October.

We have no pensions to fight over, our savings were roughly the same so we agreed to just keep what we each had. No debts on either side too.

We had 2 cars and he paid me a small sum of money for me to give up my share of the better car.

I bought him out of our house with my parents help and he was taken off the deeds and the relevant paperwork signed to confirm he was giving up all claim to the house in return for the money given. He has bought a shared ownership house.

I also gave him some money towards the household goods as he preferred to have money rather than take furniture from the family home.

We share parenting roughly 50/50 so there is no maintenance paid by either side.

Essentially, everything has been sorted and we just need a rubber stamp on things before we can get the decree absolute.

From looking at the government website, I don't think we need to go through solicitors to get everything finalised, but I'm confused about how we do the consent order when neither of us are asking for a financial order to be made.

Can anyone please advise me? I really would prefer not to have to pay £600 to a solicitor when we have done all the hard work ourselves.

I am kind of in a similar situation.

We’ve agreed everything. He’s moved out bought new home. His name is off the house we shared as in my sole name. We’ve agreed maintenance.

I spoke with someone from wikivorce a while back who said very straight forward to do on your own.

I haven’t started the process yet but I intend to.
