A: You never file disclosure documents with the court, except the declaration regarding service of the PDD. You are also not expect to or required to file an Income and Expense Declaration with the court unless you have filed a motion for some kind of financial relief, such as a request for order for child support, spousal support or for need-based attorney's fees.

A: In certain jurisdictions, after the initial Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure (PDD) is filed, there might be a requirement to submit additional financial disclosures, such as an Income and Expense Declaration (I&E), to the court. This ensures that both parties provide updated information about their financial situation. The need to file subsequent I&E declarations can vary depending on the rules and procedures of your jurisdiction. It is advisable to consult with a divorce attorney who can guide you through the process and inform you about the specific requirements in your case. They will be able to advise you on whether an updated I&E declaration is necessary and assist you in fulfilling your legal obligations accurately. Best of luck as you navigate your divorce process.
