Form E Page By Page Explanation

Page 1
You will be required to put your name on the box that is on your left and if you’re not doing this voluntarily, you will also be required to do the same on the right.

In the latter case, you will have the name of the respondent will go to the right and that of the applicant to the left (if this is voluntary, you can leave that out).

If you’re representing yourself, you can include your name and address on the bottom box. If not, include that of the firm that you will be using.

Section 1.1 to 1.5 should not be a problem.

For the case of 1.6, indicate the stage at which the divorce is at. 1.7 all the way to 1.9 should also be easy to fill out but for 1.10 include all the children that are in the family and for section 1.11, you can include any health condition that may be of any financial impact.

In section 1.12, you will be required to explain the term of future arrangements. In this case, only include short and medium term terms.

N1.13 requires you to put a value to the amount of child maintenance that you will need. You can fill in section 1.14 in the event that you have another case in court that you would like reviewing. Be explicit and include any documentation that may be important in the case. In section 1.15, make sure that you only fill in information that relates to you and your STBX and not anyone else and the last part quite hassle-free.

Section 2 will require you to put information about your matrimonial home. The valuation is not necessary but you have to make sure that you include any secured loans and mortgages on the home. Make sure that you also indicate the names that are on the deed and if you would prefer to include any other information feel free to add an extra sheet of paper.

There is section 2.2 on this page that requires you to fill out any information about any other home that you may have land or building. In this case, you will be required to follow the same procedure as the one followed in section 2. In the event that you have more than two properties that fall on this category, then you can print as many pages as you will require.

Section 2.3 on this page is very simple. However, you need to keep in mind that you will need to go back 12 months back from the date of filling in the form and make sure that the balance you fill in will reflect the one on your bank statement. You can use online statements or ask one from your bank. Section 2.4 should not cause any problem.

Both sections 2.5 and 2.6 in this category should be quite simple for you to tackle.

Section 2.7 should not be a problem but for the case of section 2.8, you should make sure that you include any belongings that you may have that are valued at more than £500. Cars only become an issue when one that is of substantial value or even more when there is a collection. It is unlikely that furniture will be an issue. However, if there is an art collection, then that will definitely spark some interest.

In section 2.9 you will be required to fill out the liabilities that you may be having. This will include any credit card statements and loans that you may have. Ensure that you have the original statements attached. While the latter may not be required, it may be required in some instances and it will save you time and money if you produce it beforehand. In section 2.10, include the CTG calculation.

If this section is required, (2.11) your accountant is better equipped to help with this.

Section 2.12 on this page is quite simple and shouldn’t be a problem.

Section 2.13 will require you to fill in a page for every pension that you possibly have. You should also include the follow up of the CETV since this can take up to 3 months.
