Our consultant service offers expert advice and support to help you reach agreement on a fair financial settlement quickly, and for less than a quarter of the cost of using a traditional high street solicitor.
My FDR is coming up in a few weeks. My ex has not filled in their Form E correctly, missing key information relating to their new marital status. I raised this in the first hearing and my ex’s solicitor admitted to the judge the correct status. As we head to FDR I have on several occasions wrote to my ex’s solicitor suggesting that an accurate form E should be filed with the courts for the FDR. They are trying everything to avoid doing so and have said they do not need to do so. Although no decisions based on this inaccurate information can be enforced at FDR, my worry is that this inaccuracy would then carry over to final hearing and would therefore be used in any final judgements. Should I be raising this to the judge in advance, and if so what form should I be using. TIA
Is this a recent development? Has this been raised in the questionnaire and statement of issues? You can always file and serve a position statement ahead of FDR to ensure the judge is aware. Have details of the new spouse's financial position been provided??
