Variation and Enforcement

How we can help you:

As a member of Resolution, founding partner Siân Blore is committed to guiding divorcing couples in working out their financial settlement in a non-confrontational, respectful way, putting the welfare of the children front and centre of any negotiations. Once an agreement is achieved and a consent order is made, most couples move forward with their separate lives. In situations where this does not happen and consent orders need to be varied or enforced, Blores Family Solicitors can provide proactive and strategic legal advice and representation.

Based in Henley-on-Thames, we have over 30 years’ experience in family law and specialise in complex, high-net-worth consent orders often involving international assets and property.

What sets us apart is we are a niche firm dedicated to family law matters. Siân Blore is highly experienced, empathetic, and determined when it comes to protecting the interests of her clients and their children. We will take the time to listen to the reasons you need to vary or enforce a consent order and work meticulously to achieve what you want.

Below are the answers to some frequent questions regarding varying and enforcing consent orders.

Because a consent order is legally binding you can apply to the court to have it enforced if the other party breaches the order. We can assist you with collating the necessary evidence and making a strong enforcement application.

A court application can be made to vary certain parts of a consent order, most typically maintenance where there has been a change in circumstances.

The court will consider many factors when deciding whether to grant a variation, including issues of fairness and the welfare of any children affected. To successfully vary a consent order, you must have a robust case and plenty of supporting evidence. Varying consent orders can be far form straightforward and we can provide the experienced advice you need.

A consent order is a legally binding and enforceable order confirming an agreement made between spouses or civil partners stating how their property and assets will be divided and any ongoing maintenance payments following a divorce/dissolution. We will help you negotiate a financial agreement, draft the consent order, and file the agreement in the Family Court so it can be approved and made final by the court.

Why Choose Blores?

Regardless of how amicably you negotiated your financial settlement, the original circumstances that applied when the consent order was signed may change, leading to the need to have it varied or enforced. We provide pragmatic and honest legal advice and representation and will expertly guide you through the legal process. Over the past 30 years, we have built strong relationships with wealth managers, accountants, estate agents, and barristers, all of whom we can call on if required to secure your best interests.

By instructing us you can be confident that you have a solicitor on your side who will work tenaciously to achieve your desired results.

Mrs PJ

Thank you so much for your very kind and patient support over the last few years, I could not have managed the situation I found myself in without your help and wise counsel. As you know, I was floundering and felt very lost and confused, but your reassurance and guidance helped pull me through.
