How long are financial consent orders currently taking?

[Penelope1703]

Hi All
Finally reaching the stage in mediation where we might agree on finances. We both have solicitors on standby to draft consent order for the court. Conditional order for actual divorce has already come through.
How long might we expect to wait for a judge to seal a consent order? Weeks? Months?
Many thanks.

Days if you're lucky. Mine was accepted at court and approved the same day, about 4 weeks ago.

Mine had a query and took 9 weeks.

received it last week

I've been waiting for 7 weeks, and no news yet. Submitted it myself though, so possible they may have a query

That would be amazing. Thanks

This is always the worry. How long did it take for court to tell you about the query?

Did you draft it yourself or just submit it yourself? Thanks. Hope it comes soon.

Mine was submitted by my solicitor on the 16/10 and as of yet I haven’t heard anything.

The wait is awful!

Update. It’s been approved

my solicitor actually uploaded on 16/10- she had notification today it was approved but the date on the sealed consent order was yesterday

So it took 22 days (including weekends)

Congratulations! Thanks for updating.

Less than a week

Mine took 3 days! Just waiting for final order to be signed hopefully early next week!!
