How to guide: Form E

An in depth guide on how to fill out form E, written by Wikivorce.

Introduction

Form E is a very important form used in the divorce process. Form E is used as your financial statement and is how you tell the court about your finances. Both you and your ex need to fill out separate form E’s. If you and your ex have managed to agree on your finances between yourselves, you do not need to fill out form E, instead you will need to give the court a consent application before your first appointment.

A financial order is the decisions that the court makes on things such as how the finances should be split, if the marital home should be sold, how to split savings and pensions etc. All these decisions will be written into a financial order and will be legally binding.

Who is required to submit Form E

Both parties must fill out and submit form E, Financial proceedings can not start until both sides have completed and filed form E. You need to send form E to the court and a copy to your ex at least 35 days before your first appointment date (your first appointment date will be on form C – notice of first appointment). If you send the form in late, the court may fine you.

When is the form E due

Form E is due 35 days BEFORE your first appointment.

Costs

There is no cost to submit form e to court, this will fall under the financial remedy process at which point the £250 court fee would have already been paid.

Form E is a long form and may take a while to complete but try not to become overwhelmed as this is the most important form in the financial process and it it’s very important to fill it out correctly. Don’t rush, you may want to spilt the form into sections and fill it out over a few days, so you don’t become stressed or overwhelmed. Make sure you can give your full concentration to the form so make sure you are free from distractions and interruptions. Tell the truth, do not miss anything out (either deliberately or by accident). If you lie on the form or deliberately leave information out, you can get charged with perjury.

5.1

If you are able to, specify what kind of orders you are asking the court to make. If you can’t be specific at this stage, you can try to indicate –

1. If the family home is still owned, whether you are asking for it to be transferred to yourself or your spouse/civil partner or whether you are saying it should be sold.
2. Whether you consider this a case for continuing spousal maintenance/maintenance for your civil partner or whether you see the case as being appropriate for a ‘Clean Break’. A clean break means a settlement or order which provides amongst other things that neither you nor your spouse/civil partner will have further claim against the income or capital of the other party. A clean break does not terminate the responsibility of a parent to a child.
3. Whether you are seeking a pension sharing order, a pension attachment order, pension compensation sharing order or a pension compensation attachment order.
4. If you are seeking a transfer or settlement of any property or assets, identify the property or assets in question.

5.2

In this section you need to state if you are seeking a variation of an ante-nuptial or post-nuptial settlement or a relevant settlement made during, or in anticipation of, a civil partnership, identify the settlement, by whom it was made, its trustees and beneficiaries and state why you allege it is a settlement which the court can vary.

5.3

If you are seeking an avoidance of disposition order, or if you have already applied for such an order, identify the property to which the disposition relates and the person or body in whose favour the disposition is alleged to have been made.

An avoidance of disposition order is an order that stops the disposal of assets, if one party is attempting to stop the other party having a share in the asset.
