Simplifying the Form D81 

At Quantum Cloud, we don’t believe that the form D81 should be a stumbling block in your financial remedy processes. It’s a crucial form that requires precise calculations and accuracy throughout – but that doesn’t mean it should take hours of manual input and cross-checking to complete. 

That’s why we’ve built a form D81 that works with you, not against you. Every feature of the form has been designed to save you time and reduce errors, so let’s take a look through them. 

A Series of Data Entry Fields 

Just like the rest of our forms in Quantum Cloud, the D81 is structured as a series of data entry fields. No complex layouts, no wrestling with formatting, just a simple display of the sections you need. 

What if you have lots of additional information to enter? No problem – all of the additional text boxes are fully expandable, allowing you to enter the data you need without having to worry about sacrificing the formatting of the form. 

Hidden Irrelevant Sections 

We know the D81 can feel overwhelming with dozens of follow up questions that may not even apply to your case. In Quantum Cloud, our D81 responds dynamically to your answers. 

If you answer "no" to a question, such as question 17, any dependent questions like 17.1 and 17.2 automatically disappear, adding “N/A” to the final version. This creates a cleaner workspace with fewer distractions, allowing you to focus on the sections you need. 

Import Key Figures from the Form E

For the most part, a D81 follows the submission of a Form E. Having already completed the Financial Statement for a Financial Order, it can feel like déjà vu having to complete sections 8 and 9 of the D81 (current capital and current income). Quantum Cloud allows you to import the relevant sections of your Form E into your D81 with a click of a button.

This feature alone can save a surprising amount of time on your financial remedy cases – and did you know, we also have the import button on the ES2?

Auto-Calculated Totals

Throughout the form D81 are a number of running totals, summaries, and financial breakdowns. Typically, this could mean endless spreadsheets, mental maths, and triple checking calculations.

With Quantum Cloud, those days are gone.

Questions 8, 9, and 10 automatically calculate your totals, and update in real time as you enter or import your data. You’ll see accurate totals instantly - no calculators, no errors, and no delays.

Send the D81 Securely Through Quantum Collaborate

Working on the D81 with your client shouldn’t mean chasing attachments and endless document versions – with Quantum Collaborate you can securely send the form to your client to complete directly in their client portal.

Clients can complete their form and upload any supporting documents, all within the security of Quantum Cloud, and with full access to technical support.

Designed With Family Lawyers in Mind

Form D81 is a vital part of financial remedy cases, and it deserves software that treats it with the care and precision it requires. At Quantum Cloud, we’ve built our version of the D81 with one purpose: to make your job easier.

From dynamic fields to instant calculations and seamless Form E integration, every feature is designed specifically for family law professionals who want a faster, smarter way to work.
