Advice Now produce a short film on divorce and filling in your Form E
You have to fill in a financial statement (also known as a Form E) if you are going to court in England or Wales to get a financial order after you’ve split up with your ex-husband, wife or civil partner.
Your family solicitor can help you and support this process, but for extra information, Advice Now have produced a helpful film to explain more.
It is best to fill in the Form E as early as possible rather than leaving it to the last minute. That way you can ask your solicitor about anything which does not make sense. You will have to send the Form E to the family court at least 35 days before your first hearing. It can also take time to gather some of the evidence you may need to include.
