My ex has currently got a signed Consent Order where he gets 40% share of the FMH when one of the trigger factors is met.
He pays SM towards half the mortgage.
Once the kids reach 18, and he no longer has to pay CM or SM. Does he have to apply for a Clean Break or does this automatically happen as the kids have reached 18??
The consent order is written that the ex cannot extend the term etc.

Thanks for your help
Laura

There is no need to apply back to the court. If the terms of the order allow it to self-expire, the payments can cease at the trigger date.
