What are the main financial forms for divorce?

The main forms in a divorce or dissolution are the Form E, and the form D81. Both forms provide financial disclosure, but at different stages.

The Form E is used to provide initial detailed financial disclosure, and includes information regarding a person’s capital, income, outgoings, liabilities, earning potential, and pensions. The purpose of the Form E is to enable both parties to have a clear understanding of the financial assets to the marriage.

In contrast, the form D81 is used once a financial agreement is reached. The form D81 provides the court with an in depth summary of both parties’ financial situation and provides details of the practical effect of the proposed financial agreement. The form helps the Judge decide whether the proposed financial agreement is fair.
