Consent Order and Barristers

Hi all, hoping someone can advise me.

Consent Order has been agreed with stbx and myself and has gone to his barrister to be drafted. Stbx suggests that I then show it to my barrister to see that she agrees what has been written.
I took legal advice from her before we agreed the consent order. What are the benefits of her seeing what has been drafted? If it is everything that has been agreed surely I do not need to send it to her?
Perhaps I am missing something but just want to get this all over. Thanks in advance.

I think it depends on how confident you are to read it, and ensure that everything that was agreed is contained within it.

Consent Orders are known to be drafted in legal gobble-de-gook

For the sake of a few extra days and (probably a few hundred pounds) it may be worth doing to safeguard your interests.

Thank you for that.

I had to step back and think about it again in the light of the day and came to that conclusion too!

I do not want the Decree Absolute as my Christmas present this year, so I guess I am trying to push this on, when really this is the most important part of this awful state of affairs. I will get it checked over. Thanks again and good luck with whatever stage you are at.

I think it's wise. It is a legally binding document and the wording is very important. You don't want to later discover that they snuck something in and you got shafted!

Well said and very true. Thanks for that also.
