What you (the person receiving this form) should do
Answer the following questions. If the applicant is only asking for financial relief in respect of the child(ren)
named above you do not need to answer questions 6 and 7.
If you need more space for an answer use a separate sheet of paper. Please put your full name, case number and
the child(ren)’s name(s) and number(s) at the top.
If the applicant has asked the court to order you to make a payment for a child you must also fill in a Statement
of Means (form C10A). You can obtain this form from a court office if one has not been enclosed with the
papers served on you.
If you answer “Yes” to both parts of question 6, and/or question 7, you must also fill in Supplemental
Information Form (form C1A). You can obtain this form from a court office if one has not been enclosed with
the papers served on you.
If you need special assistance or facilities for a disability or impairment please set out your requirements in
full in question 10. The court staff will need to know your specific requirements for example; documents in
alternative formats such as Braille or large print and/or access provision, a hearing loop or a sign language
interpreter. The court staff will get in touch with you about this. If you do not make the court aware of all your
needs, this may result in the hearing being adjourned.
When you have answered the questions make copies of both sides of this form. You will need a copy for the
applicant, and each party named in the application for an order (form C1, C100, C78 or C79).
Post, or hand, a copy to the applicant and to each party. Then post, or take, this form, and the Statement of
Means and Supplemental Information Form if you have filled one in, to the court at the address below. You must
