The process is practical, positive and productive if used properly. The Court (and not the other party) defines the settlement process, clearly setting down the tasks to do and the deadlines to meet
The Court process encourages discussion, mediation, negotiation and early settlement, especially where children are involved both parties have to comply with the Court's timetable.
The whole process is driven by the Court, which adds momentum and pace to the process and motivates both parties to accomplish the tasks and meet the deadlines provided The tasks and deadlines are achievable whether or not you have a Solicitor. The Court application fee is very reasonable for the service the District Judges and Court Office staff provide. You are not obliged to have a Solicitor or Barrister, which keeps your costs down.
The whole process is fair to both parties.
Providing both parties understand that if they engage in the process, cooperate and comply with the Court tasks, it is often possible to finalise your agreement and to obtain a Consent Order before or at the first Court appointment (FDA). Even with an intransigent or uncooperative party, the case can often be settled at or before the second Court appointment (FDR).
You may be unhappy with the final order and consider that the judge got it really wrong or that it is unjust. Depending on the type of case, type of order and the facts, you have the right of appeal, to set aside, or to vary the order.
