If you have reached agreement then a court date and barrister should be unnecessary. When agreement is reached a solicitor will normally notify the court, say that the hearing date is no longer required and that the paperwork for the consent order will follow in due course. Provided agreement has actually been reached this is what normally happens so as to enable the court to make use of the time slot for something else. The same goes for the barrister. You should, of course, seek confirmation of this from your solicitor.
