Consent order times again

[Illbefinejustbloodyfine]

I don't want to speak too soon but we might have an agreement....consent order being drafted as we speak. Fingers crossed he signs it then it will be submitted by my solicitor.

Sooooo - how long are people waiting when its submitted to the online portal? I need a timescale to think about, ive been waiting so so long.

Coming back to say mine was approved 5th November and Final Order came through today. So happy ❤️❤️❤️. Hope there's no big delays for anyone else.

Not London-specific, but for what it's worth: there's no fixed timescale. An agreed (consent) order goes to a judge on paper. From this thread and others, the wait has ranged from about 10 days to several months, depending on the regional court's backlog.

A few things tend to slow it down. The judge may send it back with questions, often when the split isn't 50/50 and the D81 doesn't explain why (housing needs, pensions and so on). Pension annex forms may be missing. Or the order may have been lodged before the conditional order. If it's been more than 8-10 weeks with no update, your solicitor can chase the court through the portal. Fingers crossed it comes through before Christmas.

My consent order was approved 4th Nov and I got my Final Order yesterday. Good luck to everyone waiting - I hope it doesn't take too long!

Waiting on Final Order here, can anyone tell me how long theirs took, if it was also an 'out of time one?
