Get Form E financial statement help

1. You and your ex both need to fill in the Form E if you are divorcing and one of you has applied for a financial order.
2. There is a deadline you need to stick to - you must send the form to your ex and the court no less than 35 days before the first court hearing.
3. You need your financial information to fill in the form. It can take months to get information about any pensions you have, so start there. 

Watch Rosemary as she completes her own form and explains what details you put where, and what all the gobbledygook actually means. She talks about a helpful checklist in the film. To find the checklist, go to the section called 'Budget sheet' in the guide Divorce - getting started. 

We produced this film in 2019 but it is all still correct today.

This film supports our guide to going to court for a financial order to finalise your finances when you divorce. The guide also talks about how to do your financial statement, as well as explaining, step-by-step, how to get a financial order.

Through the guide, at the most important points, you can access our panel of expert family law solicitors for tailored legal advice at a reduced fixed-fee price. 

As you read through the guide you can get expert advice on:

• Form E and how to obtain the more complicated bits of information you need.
• Any questions you have about filling in the form.
• How to complete part 4.
• Any extra reports you may need and how to get them.
• What your next steps should be.
