This is the final hurdle
At this stage, most people are not looking for a long process. They want to get the figures right, avoid unnecessary rejection risk and give their solicitor something usable straight away.
Barclay Devere helps bridge the gap between “we’ve agreed in principle” and “this is ready to move towards court approval”.
- property and mortgage figures clarified
- pensions and valuations brought into view
- assets, liabilities and logic of the split organised
- written summary prepared for the solicitor stage
Clarity over complexity
The D81 is data-heavy. Barclay Devere helps gather the right figures, valuations and pension information so the financial picture is clear the first time.
Speed and cost-efficiency
When the main agreement already exists, mediation can often finalise the financial summary quickly and help avoid months of solicitor ping-pong.
Fairness safety net
A deal only works if it can move forward. We help test whether the agreement is balanced enough to give the consent order a stronger chance of smooth approval.
What Form D81 is really doing
Form D81 is the statement of information that helps explain your agreed financial outcome to the court. In practice, it is where the numbers, assets, liabilities and overall logic of the agreement need to make sense together.
That is why people often get stuck here. The agreement may exist in broad terms, but the final financial picture is still incomplete, unclear or difficult to present properly.
Barclay Devere helps you get this stage ready for the solicitor
Step 1
Organise the figures
We help bring together the property values, mortgage positions, pensions, savings, debts and other key figures that need to be clear.
Step 2
Test the logic of the agreement
We help both people understand how the split works in practical terms, especially where there is an imbalance that may need a clear rationale.
Step 3
Produce a solicitor-ready summary
If agreement is there, we prepare the written summary that a solicitor can use to draft the consent order and deal with formal submission.
Mediation does not replace legal advice. It helps make sure the agreement is properly organised before it goes to the solicitor stage.

Frequently asked questions
What is Form D81 used for?
Form D81 is the statement of information used to support an application for a consent order, so the court can understand the financial picture behind the agreement.
Is Form D81 the same as the consent order?
No. The consent order is the proposed order itself. Form D81 is the supporting statement of information that goes with it.
What if we already reached agreement ourselves?
That is often exactly when Barclay Devere can help most. We help turn an outline deal into a clearer, better-organised financial summary for the solicitor stage.
