What are we each entitled to in our divorce settlement?

What does the law say about how to split the house, how to share pensions and other assets, and how much maintenance is payable.

What steps can we take to reach a fair agreement?

The four basic steps to reaching an agreement on divorce finances are: disclosure, getting advice, negotiating and implementing a Consent Order.

What is a Consent Order and why do we need one?

A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.

I''m expecting a date for Final Hearing soon and one of the Directions is that both sides provide "Updated Disclosure". As I''m self repping I''d like to understand what "Updated Disclosure" means, is this updated Bank Statements or another stab at form E (or Form E2). Having read the guide to bundles it appears that Bank Statements should not be provided so I''m unsure.

Not unless it''s specifically stated that, it just means a refresh on the bank accounts you''ve listed in the original Form E.

Many thanks, the order is just for updated disclosure. But is there anything to stop the other side submitting a fresh Form E though? So far I''ve seen a Form E under voluntary disclosure and a Form E2 when we went to Court, the two forms bore no relation to each other so I''m a bit concerned that they will try and add another twist at the last moment?

I didn''t know there were two form E''s I have only filled in I guess the original one not the E2.

If they want to use a Form E as a kind of structure to update the information then I guess it doesn''t make much difference but there''s more information in the Form E than just updating bank statements and it may be to put forward some case like your ex has fallen on hard times or been made redundant since the original form E was submitted.

In my case there was a new Form E and my ex was now unemployed so they tried to use it to show she had greater need but basically the "final hearing" was split into two by the judge so I was able to ask for a letter from her previous employer stating the reasons why she was no longer employed by them which was she quit voluntarily. So if you are presented with a new Form E that is radically different to the original one at the last minute you should question it and then feel free to ask for an adjournment in order to get additional information on why it''s so different if your not satisfied.
