Applicant's lawyer avoiding sending form E. Complain to court?

We are only a few weeks from the first appointment.

The applicants lawyer made various excuses last week for not sending the form E by the deadline. First they claimed a lack of staff, then that they would send it once theyreceived mine (they said they had not yet got it - by post). They said they had filed it with the court. The lawyer has now gone on holiday for a week (I got an auto-reply to an email stating that).

It looks very much that they are deliberately delaying. I suspect my ex may decide to withdraw the case without disclosing her financial position. Can the applicant do that? Now that the process has started I would like to finish it.

I have emailed the court for and asked a copy and got a form reply back about how to submit my documents. I phoned and was told to email, so emailed again asking for a copy. No reply as yet.

Should I complain to the court I have not got the Form E or leave it until the first appointment? Is there a way I should complain about this? If so, how - is there a particular court form I should use?

I read a post here suggesting leaving it until the first appointment. The problem is that I think it likely her form E will be misleading or omit information and want time to be able to question it.

They have now emailed me saying they have not received my Form E and "We cannot send our client’s Form E to you until we have received yours".

They also say its not been uploaded to the case by the bulk scanning centre.

Just to say it got sorted out after a fairly acrimonious exchange of emails.
