Document background
The Consent Order Divorce document is utilized in Saudi Arabia when both parties agree to terminate their marriage through mutual consent. This document type must strictly adhere to Saudi Arabia's legal framework, which is based on Sharia law and governed by the Personal Status Law of 2022. It serves as a comprehensive agreement detailing all aspects of the divorce settlement, including financial arrangements, property division, and child custody if applicable. The document is particularly important as it streamlines the divorce process in Saudi courts when both parties are in agreement, while ensuring compliance with religious and legal requirements. A properly drafted Consent Order Divorce must be reviewed and approved by a Saudi Family Court judge and subsequently registered with the appropriate civil authorities. The document should be prepared in Arabic, with translations available if needed for non-Arabic speaking parties.
