Notice of Response to First Appointment

Hi
Just received "notice of response to first appointment"...

where it states
Take notice that
At the First appt which will be held in January (!!)

The applicant/respondent will /will not be in a position to proceed on that occasion with a Financial Dispute Resolution for the following reasons.....

What do I do?? I am the applicant and was also applying for MPS.

Ex is self employed and I have no idea of his financial position as he changed from Ltd company to sole trader after he left. He refuses to discuss any finances or negotiate. Currently in dire financial mess as he said he would re-mortgage with me (just in name...he hasn''t contributed financially to the house for more than a year) but then refused after legal advice. Fixed mortgage term ran out in May so have been paying full capital repayments with family help.

What is the best wording as I have no idea if he will exchange form E''s on time or even turn up at Court. I doubt it. He has no solicitor and I am self repping tho did have solicitor (through wiki) for Petition but just dont have the funds anymore

You won''t need to file this until some time in the future - the date will be on the order. Until you have got his form E, clearly you won''t be in a position to proceed to FDR. So for the moment, just plough ahead with the Directions timetable and see what cooperation you get from him, or don''t as the case may be.

Amazing how legal jargon can blind me! I think I get it now ...this is "Form G" (?)....which only needs to go out once we have exchanged Form E''s! Thanks for quick response.
