My questionnaire was not fully answered

Hi everyone,I’m representing myself as a litigant in person in my financial remedy case. At my First Directions Appointment (FDA), the judge directed my ex to answer my questionnaire following his form E disclosure. However, he has still not provided full responses.I recently emailed my ex’s solicitor requesting full disclosure, but they responded by saying:"Any outstanding queries further to disclosure and requisite documentation will be addressed later with any supplementary questionnaires and schedule of deficiencies as agreed by parties in the absence of any court direction." From what I understand, they are trying to delay compliance by suggesting these issues be addressed later, even though the judge already ordered my ex to respond to my questions.Are they correct in their response or should I push for his compliance now rather than waiting. What is the best way to proceed?

Have they explained why they can’t comply now?

No, they haven’t provided the necessary information. Our Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR) hearing is scheduled for June, and all required documents must be submitted by early May. I’m worried that if he doesn’t disclose everything now, he may continue to withhold information later, which could delay or disrupt the FDR process due to incomplete disclosure. The judge did explicitly state that he must disclose all relevant information.

Do you think I should reach out to them again by email, or would it be better to apply to the court for an order to ensure compliance?

In a similar position and also a litigant in person. My ex has done the same - although she has not answered any questions!

Is your ex represented or also a litigant in person? My ex's lawyers have told me (and the court) that they are not currently acting apparently because of this.

I did get some legal advice and the options were really to do nothing or apply for a penalty notice. Trying to reach out to someone who is deliberately delaying is not going to achieve anything.

Not sure that helps, but it does happen.
