D81 form assets already split

Yorkie_Puddin

Hello
Me and my ex are currently starting the divorce proceedings. It's an amicable split and we have been separated two years now.
The only asset we had was the family home which I bought her out of 18 months ago.
What do.i fill out in on the D81 as the house has obviously risen in price since the transfer of equity all those months ago.
Ex has made it clear she no longer wants any claim to the house, I'm just worried on how the judge will see that

Many thanks

It should be fine. You would fill in the two parts (before and a after) with the same information, then issue the sections for notes. So in the section under part 8 you might want to add something like 'Net equity in the house at the time it as transferred to H was £xxx" and in boxes 12 and 3 you can explain - e.g.  "The family home at [address] has already been transferred from joint names to H's sole name. H paid W a lump sum of £xxxx on [date]  which was 50% of the net equity in the property at that date " Depending on what she has done since you might add "W has since bought a separate property"

Brilliant thanks for the information it's so helpful and a weight off my shoulders.
On another note I believe we won't be required to fill in form E as we have already come to a mutual agreement is that correct?
TIA

Yes, that's correct. The D81 is instead of a Form E

In a similar boat at moment with partner, amicable split etc.  We've submitted divorce papers (joint application) and said we'll sort the joint account for the bills this month in 7 days and then define ourselves as financially split, I need to save as much as possible as I'm going to try and buy my (ex) partner out the house if it fails to sell.  I worry though that I'll save like mad to boost what I/we have for ~6 months and then half of this would be seen as my (ex) partners?  We're staying in same house/separate rooms and have 2 children so we're trying to do anything we can as smooth as possible to limit how it affects the children.

@TBagpuss any thought on that situation?
