What is a Form A?

Do I need a Form D81?

Confused???

 

Here's a simple analogy:

Imagine you want to order food at a restaurant:

  • Form A is like raising your hand to tell the waiter you want to place an order. It signals the start of the process.

  • Form D81 is like a detailed description of the agreed dishes and the bill split you hand to the waiter for confirmation. It provides the specifics of an agreement already reached

​​

In summary:

  • You use Form A to start the court process for financial orders.  

  • You use Form D81 to provide the court with the details of a pre-agreed financial settlement for approval through a Consent Order.

  • You wouldn't file a Form D81 without also submitting a Consent Order.
