About these notes
They explain some of the terms used in Form E that may be unfamiliar to you.
The most important notes are in bold. Please do not ignore them.
There is also a checklist in Form E to tell you which documents you will need to attach
to the form.
These notes are only a guide. If you need more help you should speak to a solicitor, citizens
advice bureau, legal advice centre or law centre. You may be able to get free legal advice.

Please note, while court staff will help on procedural matters, they cannot offer any
legal advice.
Introduction
If you (or your spouse or civil partner) apply to the court for a nancial order or nancial relief,
both you and the other person must ll in a separate Form E.
The purpose of the form is to help you to provide the court with full details of your nancial
arrangements.
You must send your lled-in Form E to the court and a copy to the other person, no
later than 35 days before the date of the rst appointment. You can nd the date of the
rst appointment on Form C (Notice of a rst appointment) which the court will send to you.
The court might make an order for costs against you if you do not follow the deadlines for
ling Form E.
If you and the other person have agreed about the nancial matters there is no need for
either of you to ll in a Form E. You should hand your agreement (sometimes known as a
consent application) to the court before the rst appointment.
You should make sure that you attach any documents relevant to this application to Form E.
