    Hi Mozzie,

    You can get a consent order if both parties agree. The issue really is wether or not you have to pay stamp duty on the transfer from your name to his. Here in WA there is only a small fee and you have to supply the ATO with the consent order. Your best course of action would be to speak with a Convayencor or Settlement agent. Finance brokers may also be worth speaking to as they deal with refinancing in your situation.

    Best of luck

    Best to use a lawyer to protect yourself by doing it all properly too.
