Hi, My wife and I are doing our own divorce, it''s entirely amicable, we have agreed on everything, my wife is the respondent in the divorce, I petitioned her, she has received the d10 form, as of April 2014 the Statement of Arrangements form isn''t available, if you can''t agree to your child''s welfare, we have a 8 yrs old boy, then you must go and get mediation, we have agreed how our son will be cared for so need for that, my question is, on the d10 form my wife has to return, question 8 asks if she has received the Statement of Arrangements For Children, this doesn''t exist any more so how does she answer the question?
Any help would be most appreciated, thankyou

All that is needed is "N/A"

Hi, thankyou so much for your reply, it very stressful at the best of times, I suspected putting n/a may have been the thing to put for that as the Statement of Arrangements no longer applies, you would have thought that the d10 may have been changed to accommodate this and question 8 omitted, and as we have agreed on how we will take care of our son, we don''t need mediation, I hope it''s all pretty much straightforward, thanks again for replying

How could anyone disagree?, of course the D10 should be amended, but the courts are ploughing on with existing stock, it seems it''s a case of a change in law without considering the logistics, I have little doubt the powers that be spent a small fortune deciding this change with little consideration to implementation.

Actually I can''t fathom how this can happen given statute, but given today is a special dat to many ill shurrup.

No need to shut up at all, lol, every day is as depressing as the rest anyway, just happy I''ve got a amicable divorce because I dread to think how it would be if we were fighting, it must be an Absolute nightmare for some people, going back to the d10 form, question 8, there''s only one or 2 websites that I could find that explain this form does not exist anymore, and nowhere at all is there any advice on how to fill q8 of the d10, like you say, if they''re going to change the law, you would have changed the d10 form, or at least the guidelines that came with it, so would you just write n/a across all parts of q8 on the d10 form?
