Yes, you can file a consent order with the courts yourself. In order for the Judge to grant your order, however, you must have the consent order professionally drafted by qualified solicitors.

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the resolution to a dispute. After negotiations but prior to a final judgement, parties can come to a mutual agreement to an outcome for the case and enter a legally binding settlement agreement.

If a party wishes to back out of the settlement, then they must prove the existence of fraud, duress, coercion, or unconscionability. Before a settlement is voided, the parties will need to present their cases to a judge to determine whether there is enough evidence to warrant nullifying the agreement.
