Set out in this guidance are notes to help you complete the Annex VI form. You should read the
notes to each section carefully before you begin to complete that particular part of your application.
Please ensure that you complete the form as fully as possible and provide all the documents
required to support your application.
For advice on court procedures, to get the forms you need or for help filling them in, court staff will
be able to help you. But remember, court staff cannot give you legal advice. For example, they
cannot tell you if you are likely to be successful in recovering maintenance.

Completing
the
form
Part A
(sections
1 – 5)
Please leave this section blank. This portion of the form is completed by the reciprocal enforcement of
maintenance unit (REMO) once they have received your application.
Part B (section 6)
Please indicate the nature of the application you are applying for and where appropriate the grounds on
which it is based. If you are unsure about this please ask the court to give you advice
Part B (section 7)
Please give details of
the decision/cour
t order that you are seeking to have recognised/enforced.
Remember that you will have
to provide
a copy of the decision/court order and also you will have to ask
the court that made the order to supply you with a certified extract, Annex I, II, III or IV which confirms that
the decision/court order is enforceable.
Part B (section 8)
In section 8.1 give full details about yourself including your name, contact information and date of
birth. Your personal address can be replaced with an alternative address if you believe this needs to
remain confidential, because there is a risk of family violence.
Section 8.2 should be left blank, as this is only completed where a public authority, such as the
Department for Work and Pensions, makes an application.
Part B
(sections
9 and 10)
Please detail the name and as much information as you have on the defendant. This is particularly
important where you do not have the full address information. Where you are unsure of the address
for the defendant it may be possible for the foreign Authority to help locate the defendant, but this is
likely to be more successful if you provide information such as the defendant’s date of birth, last
known address, employer, social security number or any other information that might assist.
