South African family law
Financial disclosure for Rule 43, Rule 58 and mediation
Prepared accurately in a fraction of the time.
Interim maintenance applications under Rule 43 in the High Court and Rule 58 in the regional magistrates' courts depend on a full, honest financial disclosure — and so does family and divorce mediation. Answer one guided questionnaire, get automatic totals, then download your completed disclosure as a Rule43 Disclosure form or in the original court-form layout. A preparation tool: check each court's or mediator's own requirements before filing.
COMING SOON · FOR ATTORNEYS
From financial disclosure to your first draft.
We’re developing a guided drafting workspace to help attorneys turn structured answers into first drafts of Rule 43 and Rule 58 applications. With court-specific templates and less repetitive drafting, the aim is more time to focus on the facts, strategy and settling the papers.
In development and not yet available. Every draft will require attorney review. Launch and pricing details will follow.
Share professional feedbackWhy the disclosure takes so long
The official form is a long, poorly formatted PDF. Every figure has to be pulled from payslips, bank statements and account records, then captured in the right section — and Section 3's monthly maintenance schedule alone runs to dozens of categories. Done by hand it is slow, and mistakes undermine credibility before the court.
How it works
Stage 1
Complete the form
Work through your financial disclosure section by section, with plain-language guidance at every step. Income, expenses, assets and liabilities — each in its proper place.
Stage 2
Automatic calculations
Totals A–L, the net asset position and the full maintenance schedule are calculated for you as you type. No spreadsheets, no arithmetic errors.
Stage 3
Produce the document
Finish with a print-ready PDF that mirrors the prescribed form — numbered sections, summaries, and the Commissioner of Oaths block — ready for your attorney to settle.
Who it's for
Attorneys & firms
Meet the 5- or 10-day exchange deadlines with client disclosures that arrive complete, consistent, and defensible — and cut the back-and-forth that Rule 43 timelines don't allow.
Mediators
Each party can prepare their own financial disclosure in the same structured format to bring to mediation — the platform does not combine or compare parties' data.
Individuals
Facing a Rule 43 application or divorce? Plain-language prompts walk you through every section, so you can hand your attorney a proper disclosure instead of a shoebox.
Everything the disclosure needs, nothing it doesn't
Rule43 Disclosure assists with preparation; it does not give legal advice. Every figure remains reviewable before the form is finalised and handed to your attorney.
