A consent decree can be thought of as a legally binding performance improvement plan. It is a court-enforced settlement, agreed to by all parties and approved by a court. Consent decrees are legal tools used in everything from antitrust cases to environmental regulation.

A Consent Decree is the final order signed by the Judge when parties have agreed on everything required for a divorce, legal separation, or annulment.

If the parties reach a comprehensive settlement of all issues before either party initiates formal dissolution of marriage or legal separation proceedings, the parties may jointly elect to proceed with the dissolution or legal separation action as a summary consent decree proceeding.
