Family Law Fact: What is Form E?

For any divorcing couple, dealing with the financial arrangements can seem overwhelming and complicated. In order to ensure a fair division of a couples assets and financial obligations it is necessary for all parties to understand the whole picture. If a divorcing couple are not able to agree on how their finances should be divided, then the courts will be involved and it will be necessary for each party to perform financial disclosure by completing a Form E. This is a financial statement for each party to complete that covers income and assets as well as debts, needs and expenditure of both parties and any relevant children.


What is the process?

 


Form E can appear quite daunting since it is a fairly lengthy document, but the reason for this is to ensure that both parties are providing full and frank disclosure. It is also necessary for the parties to give documentary evidence to support their form.
Form E is submitted simultaneously by both parties who can then prepare a list of questions about the other partys Form E (known as the questionnaire). If the initial disclosure was not complete or the finances are complicated, then the questionnaire can be lengthy.
Once both parties have completed the Form E, there will then be the first court hearing, which is known as a First Directions Hearing. This initial hearing is for the judge to determine if there is any other information that is needed to ensure that a successful settlement agreement can be reached. The parties do not give evidence at this hearing but can be asked to provide further disclosure where necessary.
