Spousal Consent

Spousal consent refers to the formal agreement or approval given by one spouse for the other spouse to engage in certain legal or financial actions that may affect their joint interests, particularly in matters related to property, financial transactions, or retirement benefits. This requirement is often mandated by law to protect the rights and interests of the non-consenting spouse, ensuring they are aware of and agree to decisions that could significantly impact the marital assets or their own legal rights.
