... really replaces affidavits.

It's a new, uh, system that practitioners and the layperson are looking at getting involved in.

It's, uh, it was launched nationwide in December 2025 after a pilot program commenced in Dublin.

Uh, so it's really replacing the affidavit of means and affidavit of welfare, but in the same type of format with the new wording of statement of truth.

So they're the first criteria that's necessary for parties to, to complete, and it's, it's just getting your, your, your s- your paperwork ready.

Uh, it, it's, I guess the affidavit of means-Um, is dealing with your finances and, uh, the statement, it's, it's simply setting out all of your finances, whereas your affidavit of welfare is dealing with, uh, children, when there's children involved, and they can be children up to 18 or 23 when they're in full-time education.

On the other side of it, they're served these, and what would happen then for the respondent or the, the, the, the, the other party?
